Beginning in 2025 the PGA Tour took production in house for all of their events across all of the tours they are involved in. It was presented as a pretty big deal with their new production facility at TPC Sawgrass coming on line late 2024. Surprised that hasn't been discussed here more.
CBS, NBC and ESPN+ use what the PGA Tour now provides them for a general television feed from their new production facility. The networks then provide extra camera angles/coverage for their telecasts as needed and the specific networks production team then decide how to present it for steaming/over the air.
The PGA Tour has been rumored for some time to purchase GC for their own use. Especially after GC left Orlando and move to Connecticut when NBC Sports network shut down and consolidated it's operations in 2021.
What's interesting now that Comcast/(owner of NBCUniversal) has decided to spin off some of it's cable channels they are talking about starting another new sports network. What geniuses. Guess over paying for the NBA is driving that possible decision.
For all of the people here at WRX and elsewhere that think players X, Y and Z are boring I'd love to see what your personalities are like IRL. Probably duller than twice used dish water and the player they are whining about.
Across the board NBC spends more money on golf than CBS does. Main network or not. You or anybody else has zero idea of the actual money NBC spends how it impacts it's golf coverage. Is CBS possibly better at broadcasting golf than NBC. Could be. Just people's subjective opinions. People whining here and social media isn't the best arbiter of reality.
You're cherry picking when simply considering weekend events. Look at the overall amount of golf that NBC/GC/Sky spends broadcasting golf in total. Likely more than CBS. Easily
So you're actually wondering that the NBC network family, which includes Golf Channel under it's management, doesn't televise enough golf? Also Sky Sports in the UK is an NBC property. Are you serious?
