The cutaways, camera angles, lack of action, announcers, this is a train wreck and I felt the same way last year. Is there any way they can cancel this locked in contract? They are ruining the tournament.

I haven't watched, but golf and FOX just sound like a bad combination. Isn't this the same network that put Gus Johnson in the booth for soccer?

I haven't watched yet this year but last year was horrifically bad.

I shudder to think what FOX will do to the World Cup in two years.

It's not good. I agree. But it's better than last year.

It's really not that bad. You're just being dramatic. They don't even have their A crew on yet...even though that's Joe Buck. You can't wait to get to Joe Buck? Just drink a beer and have a good time.

Holly Sonders is hot but she looks like a straight up whore

I honestly don't think it's that bad. Certainly better than last year. I do like the new theme Fox has for the US Open.

Nothing new... I believe it was last year or the year before to where there was an uproar from the viewers as to how bad it was.

It's bad because it's new and different. Unless I'm mistaken, Fox doesn't cover any other golf events outside of the US Open. After a few years it will become normal. Right now it's just getting used to it being something different than NBC's long time coverage.

Anytime you have to listen to that arse frick cocksucker Brad Faxon you know it sucks. Azinger is pure poo poo. Joe Buck, what a complete doofus. At least Greg Norman is gone, but gosh damn, Faxon???? This a-hole was a shite player, and a worse commentator

Fox is awful for everything, at least they improved the cameras, it usually looks like a poor quality stream for sports

I love seeing the ball tracker. Nice to see the approach each golf is taking to their shots.

Watch the tournament not the coverage.

Figure out what that means and you'll be fine.
