User reviews

Limited viewing

Would be real nice to see the end of the tournament while traveling home after spending 4 days on the course. It is dreadful how hard media has made it to watch marquee events. They will eventually subscription us to death!

Well designed but limited live feeds

Championship Sunday and the live feeds (in the US) only follow some middle of the pack players and a par 3 camera. The leaders are on the course, but you won’t get to see them unless they’re on a par 3. Add a broadcast channel to fix this large hole in coverage.

Not great

The other major championship apps are much better than this.
No coverage of final group and you have to sign up to various conditions just to watch non contenders. Poor!

Connection issues

If you are not at home and not on WiFi it is almost impossible to watch the championship. Something is always “wrong” with the connection and you can try and deleting the app and redownloading but it only temporarily fixes the issue and then you’re right back to square one.

Lee

Took forever to get registered add to sign in. I’m still not sure if I’m in one club or not! Very cumbersome and slow — to difficult.
