***2026 Masters Tournament***

[SolterraCyclone]

I say this every year but it needs to be repeated. The Masters has the worst coverage of any tournament every year. Any other tournament would already have coverage started with a Main feed somewhere. The Masters doesn't even have a Main feed going until noon CST and it's on Prime.

Catch up to the rest of the ******* golfing world!

Wow, this is a take.

The Masters is the only golf tournament you can watch without cable/subscription. And there are several ways to watch without the main feed: featured groups, Amen Corner, Holes 4,5,6, and 15,16, all free to everyone through the Masters app. It also has much fewer commercial interruptions than any other tournament.

Don’t they stream everything for free though?

Holes 4, 5, 6 is live now along with Masters on the range

Any other tournament would have a Main feed going right now. They are behind the times. The Players tournament does it right. Not only do they have a Main feed and featured holes that starts immediately, they don't do featured groups because they have a feed for every group that's on the golf course. If I were to rank coverage of golf tournaments they would go as so:

The Players tournament
Majors other than the Masters
Regular PGA Tour events

There like 20 guys on the course right now. There’s not even enough shots right now to fill a “main feed”

You couldn't be more wrong.

I watch every golf tournament, and that's how I see it. The Masters is the worst, by far.

I'm at work, and enjoying the Masters app, holes 4-6. No commercials, no split screen playing a commercial while a small box still shows golf I can't hear... just golf

A main feed would have less dead air than featured holes and featured groups.

I love watching golf while working and a main feed would sure be nice!

The Masters App is the best app in golf. You can see literally every shot of the tournament in the app. No other tournament does that. Masters coverage is the best in the game and I am not sure it's close

Holes 4, 5, 6 is live now along with Masters on the range

Would you be happy with a football broadcast that shows only the 2nd quarter, part of the 3rd quarter, and like the first 2 minutes of the 4th quarter?

You can see every shot at the Players. They have a feed for every group on the golf course. The Masters doesn't do that. You might be able to go back and see every shot but you can't see it live like you can during the Players.

I could do entirely without the range stuff. There are people on the course and commentators flapping their lips, may as well put those two together whenever you can.

Not trying to stir the pot, but for those saying there aren’t enough shots yet for a main feed, how can that be true? I’m watching a feed that is just holes 4-6, and there’s plenty of action to fill that. Presumably there is golf being played on holes 1-3, and as soon as a group finishes the 6th, you have play on the 7th, 8th, 9th and so on.

And that's the frustrating part, there is so much golf going on right now and no way to watch it. When every other tournament on the calendar has a main feed starting immediately, how can a major continue to operate this way? It's insane.

I just got an ad while watching on the app

You’re watching shots from guys who are +2 getting yardage for their approach shot from 150 out. You really need Jim Nantz or Scott Van Pelt announcing that?

I mean, I enjoy that, but the general audience wouldn’t.

Would you be happy with football going to commercial while the play continues? You already miss half the tournament with all the commercials they put in other broadcasts. The Masters not caring about making money off the broadcast makes up for the later start IMO. Add in that I don’t have to get extra subscriptions helps too.

I don’t need Jim Nance or Scott Van Pelt announcing anything…ever

Even with a “main feed” you’re not going to see every golf shot. It’s not comparable to football

But you'll see more shots than what we're currently getting!
