Don't think it's been talked about much but the tv coverage has been awful. Running stupid puff pieces while golf is being played. I'm up at 5:30 to watch golf. Show me the golf.

And there have been a ton of commercials. Now that our TVs are much more interactive, I wish I could push a button and promise to buy a Rolex, Lexus or boner pills to prove the ads worked and then it runs commercial free.

Some of the TV coverage issues, especially what and how many shots they show, is due to NBC having to use a third party Euro provider for coverage. They have some of their own cameras out there, but not near as many as they would have in the US. Here's a story about the Solheim Cup coverage, that is going to bleed over to some extent to the Ryder Cup coverage.

Isn't it more about the ad load though? Pretty sure NBC has 19min of ads/hr whereas sky sports (UK) is running a much lower ad load. Don't think the world feed, which sky sports also relies on, is necessarily the issue here

Listened to some of the NLU pod earlier. They're right about one thing- US team is a bunch of front runners. When it's rolling they're all buddy buddy but when things turn they're a bunch of little beetches. No one was really supportive of those last few afternoon matches and they all flipped to halves. Also reports Xander and Cantlay are locker room cancers complaining about not being paid this week and just generally bad attitudes. No idea if that's true or not but it's out there. Sucks waited 2 years for this crap.


This and as one of their guys pointed out, it seems like the Euros just care about this event way more than the Americans. Like it's a burden for some of the US players to play in it

What an embarrassing group of overrated chumps. Have some pride. Show up. Zach is a joke. Team is a joke. All the hype only to get run off the course in 1 f'ing day. Unreal.

It was incredible how quickly it was over in the am session. In the first hour it was clear that the US wasn't doing better than 3-1 at best

No way that is true. If so, then neither one of them should ever be on a Ryder Cup team again.

Which is yet another reason, outside of being terrible Ryder Cup players, why neither one of them should have anything to do with the US team.

Serious team golf for today's top USA pros is like puitting square peg in round hole. More than half of this group are Shooter McGavins. And they all already have a "team" that is priority 1.

If Scheffler's not there, Burns doesn't sniff Rome.

The commaraderie schtick is bs. But damn, the wags! whew!

And we're off. Hopefully the early session coverage is better today.

Oh and "they got in antibiotics so credit to the drs, but no excuse"

So sad. Right when we concede the first hole

1st 2 euro drives in fairway and 1st 2 usa drives in the rough....more of the same so far.

Schefflers "sliding" leg seems more pronounced lately...and he's been pretty inconsistent.

I mean can we aim OB left on #1 so we at least have a chance to hit the fairway.

If Brian Harmon is an automatic qualifier, when we are playing in Europe, we have absolutely no shot to win. This is sad.

Spieth going to get Thomas injured. That grass just grabbed his club at impact.

Seriously....wtf was ZJ thinking. It could not be more obvious after yesterday that Spieth would be a major liability in alternate shot

Spieth spaying it 30 yards right off the tee. This is comically bad.
