The fans who are away from witnessing their favorites live only rely on the TV broadcast. However, with past errors from the PGA Tour, where crucial moments were missed. This time, again, a similar situation took place. Earlier, before the Arnold Palmer Invitational took place, the fan-forward initiative assured fans with an enhanced experience with fewer commercials. However, what happened was just the opposite as the long duration of the commercials left the fans watching commercials instead of Russell Henley’s great chip that helped him win the title.
Sharing the details about the commercial and promises, Monday Q Info shared a post on X. It wrote, “Part of the reason NBC didn’t get back in time for the Henley Chip may have had to do with the statement from earlier in the week. The statement said there would be fewer commercials, however the breaks they did take were mostly longer than normal. Basically making the total commercial time the same as other broadcasts. Instead of 2:30, some breaks were 3:00 or longer.”
With the broken promise from Jay Monahan & Co., the fans are furious and have expressed their anger in the comments section.
One fan wrote, “Welp, that backfired quickly.”
Another added, “Noway they lied to us ?? Kinda par for the course with those guys .. ooo let’s say less commercials but run longer ones… people ate stupid they will never know …”
Other joined with anger writing, “No one cares..they missed the most important part of a 4 day, elevated event. NBC Sports SUCKS,” and “I don’t even care they were on break, just show us it when you come back and either fool me that it’s not live on replay or tell me this was just a moment ago. Coming back from break mid ball rolling out is probably the last option I would gone with .”
Another comment read, “Yea they just thought he’d hit a pedestrian chip and we wouldn’t miss anything important Like … hello … take the 3:00 break after tee shots – nope. If their brains were dynamite they couldn’t even blow their nose.”
This is a developing story…
