Even when fans are in attendance, golf broadcasts have been able to pick up golfer commentary on hot mics. But when you take fans out of the equation completely for a major tournament, you’re going to hear a lot of the frustration play out on TV.
This year’s PGA Championship at TPC Harding Park was the perfect example of that.
After already picking up an F-bomb from Tiger Woods’ MLB conversation with Rory McIlroy, Sunday’s final round had an extremely relatable F-bomb courtesy of Justin Thomas.
Thomas thought he had a certain birdie putt on the par-4 5th, but he watched in disbelief as the putt trailed off the lip. This was how he reacted (NSFW language):
Anyone who has ever played golf certainly knows that feeling, and golf fans actually appreciated being able to hear it play out on the broadcast.
See! Pro golfers are just like us — except, you know, way better at golf.
