Live To Tape Coverage


Recommended Posts

So, as I was perusing Golf Twitter yesterday, I saw a lot of people complaining about the fact that with the pushed up start times you couldn't watch any of the golf live. The fact that the tournament was over just around the same time coverage was beginning on CBS seemed pretty pointless. However, for some of us without the ability to stream, the only way we could watch is on the network broadcast.

 

So I guess my question to y'all is this? In this day an age of PGA Tour Live and multiple streaming options, should the PGA Tour offer these events live instead of making us watch taped coverage in their live windows? I, for one, think they should. It frees up our afternoons for other entertainment options instead of watching old coverage. I was super frustrated to watch the Golf Central guys talk about all the players coming down the stretch and then they threw to their 1:00 coverage window with Luke List and Si Woo Kim teeing off on 1. Awful.

Unless I'm mistaken, the pushed up start times were weather-driven. Not much that the broadcaster can do with that, as they are very unlikely to change their entire broadcast schedule for the day. But I didn't understand why the live stream was on the same delay as the television broadcast.

My guess is that the online live stream has to be delayed to sync up with the TV coverage based on contractual obligations between the PGA tour and the networks.

 

The scores are automatically sent to the media sites to allow people without access to follow along and I doubt there is a process in place to delay the feeds to these sites. The commentary by individuals and media is just something that can't be avoided.

I wasn't aware that the tee times had been moved up, but saw the "taped earlier" notice.   Honestly, I figured it was because that in the event of a playoff that did occur, they didn't want to cause a delay in the broadcast of the Country Music awards.

I think they should do both. Give us the streaming option if we want, but stick with the normal broadcast as well.

 

On another note, I saw that fox is going to have 40+ hours of coverage for the US open this year. Easier for them since they don't do too many tournaments besides the USGA ones but still cool!
