Social Media Reacts To “Shocking” And “Embarrassing” Ryder Cup Coverage
It’s been three years since the Ryder Cup graced our screens and, only a few hours into the 43rd edition at Whistling Straits, fans aren’t overly impressed with the coverage.
Broadcasting all around the world, viewers took to social media to voice their opinions over the coverage.
Check out what was said below:
2 matches on the course and the broadcast is already missing shots

Brands: if you were to sponsor a commercial-free first two hours of the Ryder Cup, we'd love you forever and buy all your things

There wasn’t even other balls in play and we missed the tee shots of Rahm and Spieth on 2. Whoever is running the feed that @SkySports is getting is an incompetent fool. Which sums up US golf coverage full stop.

@SkySports this combination of US coverage and your coverage needs working out, no sound, some sound, mixed commentary, one or the other would be nice.

Sky’s Ryder Cup coverage is embarrassing. So many commercials. On a subscription channel

Even the captioning went wrong…
Sky Sports showing a lot of respect for Ryder Cup rookie Daniel Berger

An interview with Steph Curry didn’t help matters…
Cmon @SkySports sort out this coverage of @rydercup we don’t want to listen to a basketball player instead of watching the actual golf ffs #RyderCup

Show the golf. You only have 8 balls in play we should be seeing every shot !!!
— Darren Morgan (@the_floss) September 24, 2021
Seriously Sky we don't want to see that, focus on the golf! It's not tricky, as much golf as possible with snippets of well targeted commentary, you can't go wrong.
— Simon Knowles (@SimonKn75881518) September 24, 2021
I wish @SkySports would actually show the Ryder Cup golf we’ve been waiting an extra year for rather than pointless interviews with Steph Curry..
— Daniel Szymanski (@DanielSzymanski) September 24, 2021
How about showing golf shots? How can you or whoever is supplying the feed not keep up with 8 balls.
— Ollie Warwick (@olliewarwick) September 24, 2021
On the other side of the pond, things weren’t much better!
The Golf Channel and NBC coverage so far is truly atrocious #RyderCup
— Riley Danford (@RileyDanford) September 24, 2021
Hey golf channel, do you plan on showing any golf with your commercial coverage?
— Rory Manley (@IowaHaloFan) September 24, 2021
All you see for a couple months is NBC promos for the Ryder Cup. And then they show about three minutes of golf and 100 minutes of commercials, coupled with this brutal commentary. I’d give almost anything to watch the European coverage of this. https://t.co/wculY1aAgB

@GolfChannel You’re called the Golf Channel, correct? Well how’s about showing some. This is ridiculous. You’ve got a captive audience who will switch to football on Saturday/Sunday because you’ve turned your #RyderCup coverage into an infomercial.
— Scott Morgan (@ScooterColt) September 24, 2021
The Golf Channel’s coverage so far sucks. There are two matches out at this point. How can you not show me every single shot?!

Let’s hope things improve over the remaining days.
