Golf fans have been waiting years for the competition\u2019s arrival at Bethpage Black. The stage is set, the atmosphere is electric and things are already getting chippy.

Unfortunately, regular golf viewers couldn\u2019t have been less surprised. The bigger the event, the heavier the commercial load. It\u2019s a tale as old as time, and fans (and even a few fellow pros) didn\u2019t enjoy the deja vu, taking to X to rage against the marketing machine.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">I love commercials with a side of Ryder Cup<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Grant Horvat (@GrantHorvatGolf) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/GrantHorvatGolf\/status\/1971557913236828638?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">September 26, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">There were literally two golf balls on the entire course and we saw neither tee shot.

The Ryder Cup is not a full-field PGA Tour event. There aren\u2019t dozens of players on the course at once. At most on Friday morning, there were 16 players on the course at a single time playing ALTERNATE SHOT. To not broadcast every shot, especially before all matches were on the course, was an unforgiveable sin in the eyes of most golf fans, who turned on NBC in almost record time.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ll see if things get better as the weekend progresses, but despite the totally unforced error from NBC, it could have been worse. We could have been Canadian \u2026<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Oh boy. Someone has messed up Ryder Cup coverage in Canada. If you\u2019re on Bell, no problem \u2014 you can watch on Golf Channel. But Rogers and Telus are showing a Jack Nicklaus documentary.
