Several CW affiliates recently decided to part ways with the LIV Golf playoff event before it started due to the length of the broadcast.
LIV has an agreement with CW to carry the broadcasts of its events in the US.
Viewers who wanted to continue watching the broadcast were forced to turn to the network’s streaming platform to see the conclusion of the event.

Nantz may soon have to add a master roaster to his resume after this latest hit.
Last month, the golf, basketball and football broadcaster drew attention when he described Brooks Koepka’s actions on the 15th hole during the third round.
