I think they did, but probably only Thursday/Friday. I imagine it's the same for the PGA. Not sure if afternoon featured groups will be shown either. Sadly, I suspect not.

So they pretty much just turned the US PGA into another US Open ? This looks like it could be brutal
And shame there appears to be only one featured group - not exactly thrilling at the moment

Agreed, but at least if you are going to have one group, it would be this one.
I find the flatness of the fairways and greens quite wierd. And I'd forgotten how much I dislike the American perchant for thick 4 inch rough lining every green and fairway.

36 players at par or better so far. At work so can't see coverage but is it playing that hard?

This seems to be a setup purely for big hitters only and coupled with the rough I couldn’t see me breaking 150 even on a good day. Nightmare 
Not particularly fair (IMO) so hoping someone like Molinari confounds The PGA and wins it.

Featured group went off on 10th and it looks ludicrously hard.
As a side issue the PGA's featured groups coverage has been beset with gremlins. We've had pics but no sound for over 10 minutes.

Was always going to be the case with the choice of Bethpage for the event. It's defenses are it's length and rough, factor in time of year in NY it was always going be a tough US Open style event, may see that change in coming years with different venues.

Can’t believe they are planning on hosting the 2024 Ryder Cup at Bethpage - it’s not exactly wide open with minimal rough for them

I would quite happily camp out in the car park to get on the Black course. I'd take a few dozen balls with me though.....

Is that a few dozen for each hole.... I know I'd need them😉
But I'm with you I'd happily camp out for a round there regardless of what the score would be.

Some golf is better than no golf.
I’m putting Phil Michelson +8 for his first round.
Good to see the English boys starting well

Tommy Fleetwood having a great start , even more so when it’s from the “harder†start point
No idea what’s happening with the coverage though as it’s just gone ?!
The camera work and production of this featured group is shocking

The feed itself is fine. I'm lucky its been on regular TV for near 4 hours so far and no picture/camera issues

My feeds pretty good to be fair.
Brooks looking like the major machine he is making himself into.
Tiger starting to look good as well, think this will be a good major again for the viewers,

Koepka shoots the lights out and the post round coverage is all about the trials and tribulations of Tiger... Obsessed or what?

yep missed 2 or 3 very makeable putts (albeit did hole a couple of bombs too)
