Golf fans were left disappointed at the coverage on day one of the 2022 Presidents Cup. While commercial breaks are a part of most major sports broadcasts, that such a raft shots were missed with just 10 balls in play across five foursomes matches at Quail Hollow left many scratching their heads and taking to social media to voice their frustration.

The Presidents Cup has become such a grim event. Almost as grim as the Foxtel coverage which somehow manages to miss shots when there’s only six players still on the course.September 22, 2022
