Ahead of the Ryder Cup, the live coverage of the Solheim Cup is worrisome

He wrote, “Comfortably the worst customer service I have ever dealt with @skytv!” The 29-year-old player hardly loses his patience. However, the fever of the patriotic showdown even led him to vent his feelings to the golf world.

The golf world criticizes Sky-TV

The number of spectators has gone up this year for LPGA tour events. And considering the weight the Solheim Cup holds, the event’s viewership is bound to exceed that. Perhaps that’s why so many people are vocal about their unhappiness about the live telecast, further proving Matt Fitzpatrick’s point.

One of the spectators spoke about the limited number of events Sky-TV has to cover, yet they are failing to do so.

It is fun to hear commentary when a match is going on. Conversations birth conversations, but what if you do not like what you hear?

There are plenty who feel bad about the kind of commentary Sky Sports is allowing.

Another one hinted that their morning was spent listening to Paul McGinley’s commentary, and they are not happy about that at all.

Stating the fears of many, a golf enthusiast complained about the Solheim Cup’s coverage, hoping the Ryder Cup would not suffer the same fate. However, Golf Channel will provide respite to your hearts because it will extensively cover the Ryder Cup!

Given the state of all the fans struggling with Sky Sports, it is difficult to say what is causing problems for this golf enthusiast.
