The 2024 Presidents Cup kicked off on Thursday with Canadian Mackenzie Hughes taking a knee on Royal Montreal Golf Club’s first tee in front of the home crowd and chugging a Stella Artois. Once the matches were underway, it didn’t take long for fans to voice their displeasure for Golf Channel’s coverage — or lack thereof.
For starters, there are no streaming options on Peacock (although NBCSports.com does have it) until the weekend, including zero featured groups or matches.
The camera on the sixth hole is having an issue with the lens.
And, of course, the commercial load is a bit ridiculous.
Here’s what fans had to say on social media on Day 1 north of the border.

@PresidentsCup coverage is absolutely terrible, only 20 layers on the course and we still don’t even get to see half the shots…

I feel like I’m watching the golf through a 2013 Instagram filter https://t.co/sDIYZQAYPQ
