While Sunday was a dramatic day at the Masters, many golf fans were left feeling frustrated by the CBS final round coverage.

There were plenty of moments that golf fans took to social media to air their frustrations on Sunday over, including a lack of shots being shown throughout the day, being behind the live action, confusion over the approach shots of the final group on 18, and providing an angle for the winning putt where the cup couldn’t be seen.

Here’s a look at some of the criticisms that were directed at the CBS coverage throughout the day on X:

This has been a brutal broadcast for CBS. When the folks from Augusta sit down with them this year, you can bet they’ll talk about this 15 seconds where we have no idea where Rory’s ball went, and Dottie moans. #TheMasters pic.twitter.com/ak3mkpIN7V

It’s rare criticism coming in for CBS, who are usually heavily praised for their Masters coverage each year.

Tommy Fleetwood goes in search for the first major victory of his career again this week, with the Englishman proving to be a popular pick at Augusta National.

Fleetwood’s best showing at Augusta came back in 2024 where he finished T3, and while speaking at his pre-tournament press conference, the 35-year-old emphasized the importance of his 9-wood in his pursuit of the green jacket.

Speaking on Tuesday to media, Fleetwood said:

“It’s a great 9-wood golf course. I think it’s always been — I can’t remember when I first put like a 9-wood in or a high lofted club, but it’s a perfect like 9-wood golf course. I’ve had that in the bag for a few years.”

The Englishman continued, revealing that his strategy for the week won’t just be to hit driver off the tee as much as possible:

“Yeah, it’s funny really because I know Augusta is probably associated with being fairly forgiving off the tee in a way, so you think you can whale around driver a little bit. But I don’t necessarily think that’s always the play for me. I think there’s holes that set up really well where I can draw it with the mini driver if I’m feeling less comfortable with the driver and things like that.”

That strategy he believes will make his TaylorMade Qi10 9-wood extra critical this week in Georgia:

“The biggest thing is the 9-wood for me. If I can put myself in position on the par-5s or the 4th long par-3, like it — for me, I can’t really hit that high 4-iron, so 9-wood helps me a lot.”

One of the highlights of the golfing season so far was undoutedbly Anthony Kim’s emotional victory at LIV Golf Adelaide.

It marked his first professional win in 16 years when Kim came from five shots behind the co-leaders Bryson DeChambeau and Jon Rahm to fire a 9-under 63 in the final round to win by three shots.

Following that win, there were some hopes that Kim’s victory could get him a special invite to the Masters, with LIV’s Joaquin Niemann receiving an invite in both 2024 and 2025 due to his strong performances. However, the 40-year-old’s invite never arrived and the man who holds the Masters record for most birdies in a single round will not be in action this week.

In our Masters Q&A published Monday, golf’s leading analyst Brandel Chamblee gave his verdict on Kim not receiving an invite for the year’s opening major, saying:

“Anthony Kim is ranked 455th in the world by Data Golf, which unlike the OWGR has been awarding ranking points to the LIV Tour all along. Kim’s win resonated with a number of people in the golf world because of his personal struggles and going back almost two decades, his past popularity and disappearance from the game.”

Chamblee added that he believes not backing up the win with top results in the aftermath likely made the invite committees’ minds up:

“Had he carried on playing great immediately after that victory, (he’s finished 31st, 17th and next to last in the three events after his win), he may have garnered the attention of the invite committee as Joaquin Niemann did with his consistent play and in winning the Australian Open in 2024.”
