Have they ruined coverage with a commercial every 3 min like they did NASCAR?

I'll have to cut my own highlights with this theme, sorry it's just not the same for me on fox.

I will say I like how they use the shot tracker a lot more and show launch angles etc.

agree that it's bad, but I do like the all day coverage, not just afternoons like the other networks


That's only the Masters

All other majors are wire to wire

Fox is garbage at covering golf and soccer. The camera angles are just terrible

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

Why did they do a 12 year contract? Was the USGA broke or something?

FOX everything is brutal. Until they get rid of that fricking robot give everything to NBC or CBS.

Let FOX just show repeats of Jack Bauer.

The cameras are so far back, not to mention they use shot tracker on every shot. I'm waiting for them to break out the shot tracker of somebody putting.

Fox golf is getting better

But nothing about their coverage makes this seem like a prestigious, storied golf tournament. It's like a Sunday afternoon baseball game.

I can't put my finger on it, but Fox just isn't good at giving reverence to these big events. In their defense I think the scheduling has messed some of that up, so we'll see how they finish.

As has been said, their soccer coverage has been abysmal. ESPN did soccer so much better than them, and NBC is running circles around them as well on soccer.

But should we be surprised from the network that brought you this?

I agree, although Abby being on for the Euros was honestly one of the worst sports TV decisions I've seen in years. It was awful, and went on for hours.

This!!
If you have surround sound you can turn down/off the center channel and the announcers all but go away.
