Therefore, the Golf Channel can't show the play that happens during their time on the air. They have to leave that to CBS to weave it into their coverage.
It's too bad that they didn't use the rain delay to show the early holes that took place this morning. Instead, they showed a replay of Tiger Woods in 2019.

No. The Golf channel had all the play all day Thursday, all day Friday, and early in the day before CBS took over, later today.
Even when it was all Golf Channel - a high percentage of yackity yack and too little play.
So you are telling me that even when CBS had nothing going on about the tournament, the Golf Channel was restricted BY CBS on what they could show???
I can only say if what you say is true, then the PGA and The Masters Tournament officials are NUTs for approving such a restrictive agreement with CBS. I cannot imagine how CBS could have threatened them into it. Another network would have been more than willing to show the afternoon play on Saturday and Sunday even as the Golf Channel showed Thursday and Friday’s play, and Saturday mornings as well. THEY DO IT THAT WAY on most PGA tournaments!!!!!

B.S. Guess what? CBS does not OWN The Masters Tournament!!
Its owned by Augusta National, the golf course where it is held!!!!

THEY DO IT THAT WAY for most PGA tournaments!!!!! The Golf Channel shows it on Thursday and Friday, and early on Saturday & sometimes early on Sunday too. And one of the four networks (ABC, CBS, Fox, NBC) shows the play on Saturday and Sunday afternoons.
The Augusta Golf Club is the reason.
They won't let it be shown, regardless of channel.
They are like old fashioned girls, look and sniff but don't...
