Masters: Golf fans rage over delayed Tiger Woods group coverage

Golf fans hoping to watch Tiger Woods start his second round in a “featured group” online were left angrily waiting before they could see Woods on the course at Augusta National Golf Club.

Woods began his second round at The Masters at 1:49 p.m ET, and CBS announced prior to the round that Woods’ group – which included Haotong Li and Jon Rahm – would be one of the four featured groups throughout the day.

Woods teed off as scheduled – but CBS and Masters.com didn’t begin covering Woods’ group until the first morning featured group finished play.

Absolutely atrocious programming by the Masters to not start until 2 and not have Tiger in the featured groups online.

THIS IS HAPPENING BECAUSE WE ARE NOT ABLE TO WATCH.

What @TheMasters says: Live 2nd Round featured group coverage. You won’t miss a single shot of the action!…
What they mean: Actually your going to watch the featured group from the morning that nobody wants to see #youhavetobebetter

Coverage for Woods’ group began in time for fans to see the 14-time major champion miss a par putt at the fifth hole, following a birdie at the fourth
