I'm not 100% sure, but I think CBS (network) announced last week that due to technical problems it will not be doing golf in HD until the last week of August. (It was something about one of the HD trucks dying and needing upgrades.)
Edit: Once again I was wrong, not getting good info lately.
Quoted from Ken H of avsforums:
"Moderators Note: Due to circumstances beyond their control, CBS will be unable to provide previously announced HD coverage of 3 PGA events on the above list. The events are The Milwaukee Open on 7/24 & 7/25, The Buick Open on 7/31 & 8/1, and The International on 8/7 & 8/8. They wish to extend their regrets for this unfortunate situation."
Thus, CBS Sports will be up and running in HD for the PGA Championship the following week.
