Three sporting events to watch this week: Your handy guide to sport on television

Guide to sport on television (Monday – Sunday, Nov 6th – Nov 12th)

The Annika

Top 120 women golfers in the world will gather this week at Pelican Golf Club in Belleair, Florida to compete for a purse of $3.25 million (€3.1 million) – the largest outside of the major tournaments. “The Annika” is Annika Sorenstam of course, the Swedish player who rewrote the history books in the 1990s and early 2000s, winning 72 times on the LPGA and 10 major championships. Leona Maguire finished in tied-10th position last year, and the Irish woman, along with Stephanie Meadows, will be competing this week in Florida. – Nov 9th-12th, Sky Sports

Ulster v Munster

After being eased back into the club competitions, after a disappointing World Cup for Irish rugby supporters, the provincial clashes are coming regularly now. After Ulster’s trip to Galway in the URC at the weekend, they now host Munster in Belfast. And before the month is out, there will be the small matter of Munster’s trip to take on Leinster. – Friday, RTÉ, BBC & Premier Sports

FAI Cup Final

St Patrick’s Athletic and Bohemians will meet at the Aviva Stadium at the weekend in an all-Dublin cup decider. The sides met in the final two years ago, when more than 37,000 spectators witnessed St Pat’s win 4-3 on penalties after a 1-1 draw after extra-time. This season’s decider is expected to be just as tight, and even better attended. – Sunday, RTÉ
