Less blah blah and show more golf. Take the top 15 players in contention and show their progression through the hole and the course. It doesn’t need to be “live”. You’d be able to cover 4 to 5 holes worth of players and provide context to the viewer of what they faced and how they got there

I agree. They've gotten so much pressure to show live shots and lots of them, that now highlight packages or something in depth like you are talking about are viewed as a negative. Plus, players whine when they only show a few people but I've love to see a network try what you say just to mix it up.

Hahah I whine about listening to Hicks and Zinger and Maltby etc while they could be showing play. Almost live is live enough. “Pressure to show live shots”…..Key word is shots. “Oh here’s JT. He’s got 8’ to save par with this putt” It’s majority out of context putts. How did he get here?

And almost live you can edit include what is needed with player/caddy discussion. Have the announcers calling the play live and then producers edit/condense and clean it all up. Tons of time to do it with pace of play 🐌

"Did you prefer 5 minutes of golf followed by 10 minutes of ads or 2 and half minutes of golf followed by 5 minutes of ads?

Or did you like it better when we just ran the golf in the background of constant ads?"
