The first day of the prestigious Ryder Cup is finally underway, and the players are already on their toes as they get ready to take the battle to the next level. But when it comes to the fans, lucky are those who are present on the course at the Marco Simone Golf and Country Club as they witness the event live in Rome.

While Zach Johnson and his squad aim to pull off a win to break the 30-year-old curse, many have raised complaints about the event, or specifically with its coverage. One can’t help but imagine if the ongoing tournament would suffer a similar fate as the Solheim Cup!

Ryder Cup facing a similar issue as the Solheim Cup

The entire golf world has been waiting for a long time for the ever-prestigious event to take place. For the average fan, who couldn’t make it to the course to see the action live, what awaited them was nothing short of a disappointing start. And now, loyal fans of the men’s competition have started to lash out against the same.

Live coverage of the Ryder Cup was split between NBC and USA Network. And, a tweet uploaded by a golf enthusiast, Tron Carter, saw him taking to his social media handle to bash the broadcast that was aired on the USA Network channel, dubbing it “NOT GOOD.” The fan complained how the telecast “already lost track of the first two matches” all the while they were “being waterboarded with commercials” and unnecessary stuff.

Well, for those who watched the Solheim Cup on TV, this wouldn’t come off as a surprise since they suffered a similar situation throughout the course of the event. The viewers were unable to watch the show at their full capacity as many of the important moments were missed by the live coverage, along with the presence of unnecessary music in the background, thereby earning the wrath of the audience.

The community, who was in anticipation of the event, became very enraged and frustrated with the network and came out in full support of Carter. Even he wouldn’t have thought that his frustration-venting post would blow up on the internet!
