Saturday - Matt Goggin is now in the clubhouse with a tie for lead, and the ONLY shot covered was him putting out on 18!?! After the ABC takeover from TNT this morning, it was bobblehead blather for 40 MINUTES before they showed a golfer on the course.

I thought it was me too.. Seemed like they could have identified Paul Azinger and Tom Watson when they were speaking. Are we supposed to recognize their voices? Especially Mr. Watson, who hasn't been an analyst much at all... Thanks for the article… I thought it was me too..

This is the worst coverage I've ever seen. How will sponsors feel about this unwatchable debacle? I hate to miss a major, but it's too frustrating to watch this mess. I thought Golf Channel was bad.

When I was watching the coverage of the British Open I thought I was the only one who thought it was awful. I decided to reserve judgment and wait until the next major came around. <br/>After watching CBS coverage of the PGA Championship it only confirmed my original theory... ESPN should not be covering golf, plain and simple. They need to take a few lessons from CBS and show golf not fluff. Great article.
