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. That was one of several shots in which tracers seemed to have difficulty keeping up with as a ball was in flight. CBS, according to reports, uses a brief tape delay for some shots rather than broadcasting every moment in real time.<\/p>\n CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n PGA Tour golfer Kevin Kisner, who served as a guest analyst during SiriusXM\u2019s coverage of Saturday\u2019s and Sunday\u2019s rounds, was among those who questioned CBS\u2019 approach to this year\u2019s Masters during an appearance on Barstool Sports\u2019 “Fore Play Golf”<\/a> podcast.<\/p>\n SCOTTIE SCHEFFLER TAKES ISSUE WITH MASTERS’ COURSE CONDITIONS AFTER SECOND-PLACE FINISH<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n “I was so f\u2014ing confused the entire time by trying to keep up with the behind-the-scenes CBS feed,” Kisner said. “They\u2019re literally showing s\u2014t that I knew happened ten minutes ago all day long. 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—.
