When it comes to LIV Golf vs. the PGA Tour, there is one thing that for sure every fan mentions: the event coverage. The PGA Tour has fallen far behind in offering complete satisfaction to the fans through their event broadcasting. Now with the aim of creating a viable solution for it, the new PGA Tour Studios is created. The 165,000-square-foot production house will have all the footage of the past stored here.
In short, it will be the biggest library for golf enthusiasts. The media facility will handle media operations and live production for PGA Tour Live, PGA Tour Champions, Korn Ferry Tour, and even digital operations. While sharing the great news with every enthusiast, the PGAT has shared a video on X featuring Tiger Woods, who took a tour of the studio.
Though it is a very rare sight to see something get hate if Tiger Woods is involved in it. But unfortunately, this happened for the latest PGA Tour video. The post was shared by the PGA Tour official page on X. It wrote, “An immersive PGA TOUR Studios experience. Coming soon.”

With the rival league taking away top players and viewership dropping rates, the PGA Tour cannot afford to lose its fans. But with their effort, fans are not satisfied enough with it. Within just a few hours of the post, the comments section has seen an enormous wave of comments from the fans. Here are some comments.
Fans, apart from praising the new initiative, were seen as angry about the older issue. Following that, one of the users commented, “All this to show less actual golf and more commercials or BS commentary.” Others chose humor with anger for the PGA Tour. One commented, “This is the perfect example of painting the living room while the house is on fire.” The fans are angry about the new initiative and why the PGA is not focusing on the streaming issues of the events, which has been a major problem for the fans ever since.
One user was happy with the progress, but could not keep his concern aside as he wrote, “This is great. Will the app still suck?” This is not what the PGA Tour team expected, but one thing is for sure, in the coming time the team will have to face the fans as they are furious about it. The comments section kept going with even merciless comments.

While one user commented on the leadership by writing, “A complete waste of money. No wonder the players are leaving for LIV. Poor leadership.” The fans have chosen to pick the reason why the decisions of the PGA Tour are affecting the player’s journey and choosing other alternatives. However, others just started to tell the team through the comments, about what needs to change, “Why? Your only job is to Just televise golf properly and you have totally f**ked that completely up because of all this extra shit. Who chooses to NOT TELEVISE TIGER F**king WOODS? WHO? Fire them!” According to fans, the PGA Tour team should solely focus on delivering an improved experience for the fans, rather then focus on adding new initiatives to their umbrella.
