Overview
- CBS failed to show key shots on the 18th at the Masters, including approach shots by Rory McIlroy and Cameron Young and a clear view of McIlroy’s winning putt dropping.
- NBC analyst Kevin Kisner criticized the telecast on the Fore Play podcast, saying CBS aired taped shots that looked live and left viewers confused.
- Jim Nantz responded on The Pat McAfee Show, calling the errors part of live TV and praising the CBS crew as the best in the business.
- The final round averaged about 14 million viewers, which made delays and missed angles more noticeable to fans and media.
- CBS has not offered a detailed technical explanation, and many viewers compared the network feed with the Masters app and social posts to track the action in real time.
