That was the case though Sunday night due to a rain delay at the PGA Tour’s Travelers Championship<\/a> , and with Scottie Scheffler in contention.<\/p>\n

An NBC Sports spokesman said the decision was made in consultation with the PGA Tour and Major League Baseball to stick with coverage of the golf tournament once it resumed at 7:20 p.m. EDT until it finished or was suspended due to darkness.<\/p>\n

Scheffler \u2014 the world\u2019s No.. 1 player \u2014 made an 8-foot par putt on the 18th hole to force a sudden-death playoff against Viktor Hovland on Monday morning. Tournament officials determined officials deemed there was not enough daylight to start the playoff.<\/p>\n

The final round was stopped for 90 minutes as storms moved over the TPC River Highlands course in Cromwell, Connecticut. NBC aired the conclusion of the KPMG Women\u2019s PGA Championship<\/a> .

The Yankees-Red Sox game was also streamed on Peacock. NBC picked up coverage at 8:28 p.m. during the bottom of the fourth inning with the Red Sox leading 2-0.<\/p>\n

NBC viewers still got to see the more interesting parts of the game. Boston’s Sonny Gray<\/a> had a no-hitter through seven innings before the Yankees\u2019 Amed Rosario ended it with a single with one out in the eighth inning. New York rallied for two runs in the ninth to send it into extra innings and then scored two in the 10th to take a 4-2 lead.<\/p>\n

The Red Sox though scored three in the 10th, including Jarren Duran\u2019s game-winning RBI single, to beat the Yankees 5-4 and complete a four-game sweep of their longtime rival.<\/p>\n

This is NBC\u2019s first season carrying \u201cSunday Night Baseball.\u201d It was the first Yankees-Red Sox game on NBC since Sept. 8, 1995.<\/p>
