The Golf Channel, sometimes abbreviated as TGC, is an American cable television network with coverage focused on the game of golf. It was launched on January 17, 1995. The idea of a 24-hour-a-day golf network came from media entrepreneur Joseph E. Gibbs of Birmingham, Alabama, who first got the idea for the channel in 1991. Gibbs felt there was enough interest in golf among the public to support such a network, and commissioned a Gallup Poll to see if his instincts were right.

The first live tournament the channel televised was the Dubai Desert Classic, held from January 19 to 22, 1995. ...more on Wikipedia about "The Golf Channel"
