The 51-year-old golfer has won the U.S. Women’s Open thrice in her career so far. However, there is an issue for which the fans are furious over the USGA. According to the senior golf writer Beth Ann Nichols, there is no live coverage or streaming of the group for the first round.

She wrote, “You also need to know that Annika tees off at 8:50 am. EDT tomorrow, alongside Swedish amateur Ingrid Lindblad, ranked No.2 in the world, and former USWO champ So Yeon Ryu. No live TV or streaming for her group, though, sadly.”

It’s ridiculous that @golfchannel is showing a DP World tour event Thursday morning when they could show live @usga @uswomensopen coverage.

This really is sad. There are so many fans of high quality golf that would tune in to watch the best in the world. Hope this changes in the future. @LPGA @GolfChannel

If the rounds are slow they might be able to show her last hole or two when coverage starts at 1:00 EDT. There will be 6 or 7 hours of live coverage each of the four days, so that's not bad.

I’m rooting for Annika this week for several reasons.
One reason is so Phil will no longer be the oldest golfer to win a major championship. 😂
