NBC first televised the Ryder Cup in 1991, and since then, they have consistently fulfilled its duties. However, this time, the fans have observed issues similar to those in the past. In 2004, fans complained about abrupt jumps between rounds. Furthermore, during the last edition in 2023, viewers complained about the numerous commercial breaks, which disrupted the continuity. But all that started a few hours into the event, unlike this time, where the first hour is a bomb.
Graeme McDowell wrote, “This @USANetwork coverage driving me insane already. Think we are on the 5th commercial break. May have to flip on the @SkySports version. Any better?”
Byeong Hun An also joined in writing, “We could be seeing more commercials than golf today.”
One fan wrote, @NBCSports is incompetent, 4 golf balls on the course for Ryder Cup, and they aren’t showing all the shots.”

Another joined writing, “Fix the f***ing audio for the Ryder Cup.”

More netizens joined writing, @USANetwork, how are we ALREADY missing shots at the Ryder Cup with only 2 groups out?! Awful coverage right from the start. Unbelievable!” and “NBC missing tee shots on 2 when there are 4 golfers on the course is my favorite Ryder Cup tradition.”
This is a developing story…
