NEW<\/span>You can now listen to Fox News articles!\n <\/p>\n<\/div>\n Coverage of the 90th Masters<\/a> was spread across broadcast networks and streaming, but Sunday’s final round belonged to CBS and Paramount+, with Jim Nantz on the call.<\/p>\n Over the decades, the network has polished its Masters coverage into what is largely viewed as golf broadcasting’s gold standard. Rory McIlroy\u2019s<\/a> pursuit of a rare repeat at historic Augusta National drew criticism from some viewers as apparent broadcast errors surfaced.<\/p>\n After McIlroy\u2019s second shot on the 18th hole, cameras lost track of the ball as it landed in the woods right of the fairway.

It was so bad that I in fact text Colt Knost during the show and said, \u2018do you all ever show a live shot?\u2019 I\u2019m better off following the f\u2014ing app than following your feed.”<\/p>\n Kevin Kisner lines up his putt on the 9th hole during the first round of the John Deere Classic golf tournament in Silvis, Illinois, on July 3, 2025.<\/span> (Marc Lebryk\/Imagn Images)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Kisner compared the viewing experience \u2014 which he described as out of sync \u2014 to major events like the Super Bowl.<\/p>\n “So your entire Masters coverage is a fantasy world. It\u2019s bulls—. Whatever we all watch has already happened seven minutes ago. Could you imagine watching the f\u2014ing Super Bowl and being like, \u2018yea Tom Brady threw that touchdown seven minutes ago, we\u2019re going to act like it\u2019s live here so our announcers can sound really smart and we\u2019re going to sit here and he\u2019s going to throw it wide open down the middle but it actually happened seven minutes ago and everyone in the stadium\u2019s taking a p—.
