The PGA Tour recently made a blunder. It was widely criticized by fans online, and rightly so. What actually happened was that the Tour broadcasters did not cover the first two hours of the final group on the final day at the CJ Cup.

This group included some of golf’s famous names like Rory McIlroy, Kurt Kitayama, and K.H. Lee.

Fans termed this unfortunate happening as embarrassing. Their long line of waiting did not give them the insights they wanted from their favorite player’s performance.

However, this was not the first time fans were caught in a fury because of missing a major chunk of coverage in one of the Tour’s events. The same failure occurred recently in one of the recent PGA Tour events, the Genesis Invitational at Riviera Country Club Golf in America. Fans were furious with CBS, following the missed coverage of a major chunk of the event. They called for major improvements. Although, clearly there is still a long way to go.

From what I read, this comes from the PGA broadcast contracts being limited in which the networks have expanded coverage, including PGA Tour Live, for. When they were selecting those events (30-something), this was supposed to be in South Korea, so middle of the night

Would you rather watch LIV? I’d rather wait. But agree

Fall golf baby. This isn’t a new phenomenon.

This feels worse than the 3pm UK football blackout. Is there even a logic to not starting coverage earlier?

Not good & quite disappointing as I have Sky & have to imagine it on PGA Tour app in the tour cast option. Any other options I ask? Having said that it should be great closing 9 with so many in the running.

Coverage of the whole tournament has been horrible in a season where they claimed they were going to try and improve our viewing experience

Nobody helps LIV more than the PGA. Nobody.
