PGA Tour seeking improvements to broadcast, pace, product in 2025 | Golf Today | Golf Channel

[@iiZAPPx]

Rounds 1-3 can be coverage time to experiment. The more you can make it more engaging and morr "inside the arena" the better... id be okay with more traditional broadcast come Sundays

[@valdez715]

It’s not complicated - reduce the ads, speed up pace of play so watching 18 doesn’t take 6 hours or even 5, don’t show so many meaningless putts & show more actual golf. 👍🏼

[@jricoc3475]

Yours was the first comment, and have almost nothing else to add. I don't know why these networks think we want to see grown men (and women) prepare to roll a ball ten feet, and that we don't want to see the shot that got the ball to that spot in the first place ...

[@Oahugolfguy]

@@jricoc3475exactly they should show the shot on tape instead of the prep for the putt. They are so out of it. Even after years of competition now they were to phat cat to even begin to start till now.

[@grahamsampson769]

Maybe a 'talk clock' for caddy's and players.

[@therealtw90]

That's just the coverage aspect. Your forgetting that 150 guys a week most weeks. Whether they show it or not, the guys still have to actually complete their rounds.

[@jamesdailey5485]

Gotta figure out how to get the product to more viewers too. Cable cutters can't watch golf channel. And now we can't watch CBS Sports coverage via the web. At this point, cable cutters get Espn/pga tour live coverage and NBC covered events on peacock. The product doesn't reach streamers well at all.

When will these dinosaurs realise its penalty shots NOT fines that will speed them up

[@valdez715]

@@dg-wq4py use the system in place & penalize slow players. Everything is being recorded now, everything is digital, they even have range finders, tell them the length of putt & golf already. Enforce penalty shots & show the players there are consequences for not being ready, moving like a 🐌, & over analyzing a putt.

[@Oahugolfguy]

@@valdez715the system really needs to change to be stricter.

[@acbower4468]

This time of year it’s a traffic issue, not a slow play issue. If nobody is out of position then you can’t issue a penalty….2somes going off one tee is always faster than 3somes going off split tees. It gets dark at 530 in the afternoon boys…it’s tough for a full field this time of year

[@Oahugolfguy]

Guys for crying the F out loud just show more shots. Whether tape delayed or not; just show a lot more shots and make sands talk as little as possible.

[@josephboza7448]

I agree. they need to show more shots.

[@anthonylinares743]

They need clean house on golf channel

[@benatone5633]

Last week's coverage was so bad. Showing the players walking down the fairway for 5 minutes is boring. We want to see golf shots not people walking. They use to show swing analysis when Kostis was there but not anymore. Showing more players would also be better. Most broadcast show one group 90% of the time.

[@grahamsampson769]

Fans seem to like the caddy and player conversations 'miced' but maybe there needs to be a 'talk clock.'

[@chevy4x466]

I think there was a time when the caddie interaction was interesting. But at this point, we have seen the caddie thing. It is not that interesting. Give me a drive and an approach shot while the golfer is talking to the caddie

[@djrondo1224]

Been a golf channel/pga tour advocate of golf for at least the last 15 years. Probably To much golf. I would #1 back off all the big pharm BS ads, speed up play and last but not least quit featuring so many of the beloved players like Spieth , Thomas , Fowler , Homa, Day and about five others. Show more of the guys who are actually playing well that day and or tournament! Oh and ya I understand Tiger is the guy who moves the needle but he turns 50 this year and his game can’t compete with these young bombers anymore. Sure he could catch lighting in a bottle but back off a bit and move on.

[@stevewiley8409]

The LPGA commits to pace of play why cant the PGA

[@skwira000]

Bobby Clampet, Peter K, and the announcers in the 90s and 2000s were much better than today's announcers.

[@oberder7038]

Please figure out the broadcast, so hard to listen to.

[@chevy4x466]

Innovation is not what the PGA Tour does. Liv has a feature where they show a bunch of recent great shot in fast order around the course. The PGA, u know the major tournament, went to range finders years ago. The product hasn’t suffered, in fact the pga is often the most exciting major. In the 60s many tournaments assigned caddies. I would endorse that, there would be less caddie player interaction. The caddie will be there to shlep the bag and rake bunkers, not slowing down the game by discussing a shot with the player.

[@Paul-lm5gv]

Golf needs a shot clock esp. on the putting green! These guys take 2-3 minutes to line up a 10-foot putt 6 different ways - and then miss it by half a foot! WHAT'S EVEN WORSE, 25-handicap amateurs who clog up the golf course doing the same thing causing five and 6-hour rounds! That's the bad side of 'growing the game.' Too many people on the golf course who have no business being there!*

[@therealtw90]

I think the best thing for golf is to not be like baseball with the illogical defense of status quo. Smaller fields is good. Maybe a lower Tour that's between Korn Ferry and PGA Tour. It plays on Monday thru Wednesday to get a full week of golf. The PGA Tour cards are then reserved for elite guys only. Let's shake things up. I don't think a shot clock is the answer.

[@acbower4468]

Get the LIV guys back in this tour…

[@algernonwolfwhistle6351]

Pace of play, use of laser range finders. Long overdue.

[@stevewiley8409]

The last PGA player who received a stroke penalty was Glen "all" Day in the mid 90s.. 300 freakin years ago.. the PGA is a joke

[@itsvictoroyedeji]

Imagine where golf would be today if Tiger never existed...that's what it needs, another talented, charismatic, and DIFFERENT figure like Tiger.

[@edmund415]

They are all at LIV. For example Bryson Dechambeau.

[@robertobryant9218]

golf is hard to watch these days with a good amount of the better players with liv
