Walkout limits Golf Channel coverage of events Sunday

Union workers for video and audio production at Golf Channel events walked out Sunday over stalled contract negotiations, leading to limited coverage of the final round in the Sony Open and two other events in the Bahamas and Florida. Patton Kizzire defeated

James Hahn in a playoff that went six holes to win the Sony Open. Golf Channel said it had been negotiating an agreement for nine months with International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees, a union for tournament technicians at golf tournaments, such as the camera crew. The strike involves tournaments that Golf Channel produces. The network will produce the CareerBuilder Challenge this week in California. CBS Sports produces the following week at Torrey Pines, where Tiger

Woods will play.
