The second year of LIV Golf is going to be interesting. This season, there are not just fresh faces joining the league but new teams too. They have revealed their roster, and some of the new names include Thomas Pieters, Mito Pereira, and Sebastian Munoz. Last year, the Saudi-backed circuit only had eight events, but this year, there will be 14 events. Also, last year, the Tour was only available on YouTube. But with the hard work of Greg Norman, LIV Golf bagged broadcasting deals with CW Network. However, new information about their broadcast has been making rounds online, and fans reacted to it.
What is the update about the LIV Golf broadcasting schedule?
The golf fans on Twitter went crazy after the news about the LIV Golf schedule dropped. A former caddie and current Golf.com hack, James Colgan, took liberty to share the update about the broadcasting schedules. The watching window for the events will be from 1 pm to 6 pm on weekends. His tweet contained the information about the domestic and international broadcasting.

Colgan also explained the International tape delay timings in his tweet. However, few things will remain. Signing the three-year deal with the CW Network does not mean you cannot stream the live event. YouTube, Facebook, and LIV’S official website will always be there to entertain its fans. Now, viewers can watch Friday’s LIV Golf tournament opening round on the CW app. However, the CW Network and its affiliates will exclusively air the last two days of the competition.
All domestic/North American events will air live on both platforms in the 1-6 p.m. window.
Tape-delayed broadcasts include LIV Australia, Singapore, Valderrama, London and Jeddah (the team championship).
Kudos to @NoLayingUp, who was on all of this first

This new information created a stir among golf fans. Therefore, they reacted to the news and shared their views about the tape delay broadcasting. Did they like it? Were they on board with the plan?
The golf world went berserk over the latest announcement
The ongoing rivalry between the PGA Tour and LIV Golf always becomes a topic of discussion whenever a new update follows. And like any other time, it again divided the comment section among two groups of fans. One group was loyally rooting for the American Tour, whereas another was unhappy about the schedule.
Real men don’t LIV golf. We play it and watch the @PGATOUR

I have zero desire to watch the LIV Golf.

However, some fans made comparisons in their unique style. They said, “I’m old enough to remember when the NBA was tape delayed. They also didn’t have an app.” The comment section became a forum quickly.
Only 2 days? Thought Liv was 3 days
