Golf Channel Suffers Technical Difficulties, Doesn't Show CJ Cup Playoff

Golfer Justin Thomas beat Marc Leishman today in a playoff to "win the inaugural CJ Cup" at The Club at Nine Bridges in South Korea, but after Thomas and Leishman each made par on the first playoff hole, that was "all live television viewers saw." The problem was Golf Channel's coverage "reverted back to the replay and began showing the end of the final round in regulation while the playoff was occurring." Golf Channel's broadcast "began showing delayed coverage of the second sudden-death playoff hole" at 2:55am ET "about 15 minutes after the fact." Golf Channel "apologized for the technical difficulties" (GOLFWEEK.com, 10/22). Golf blog No Laying Up's official account tweeted, "Been told the Golf Channel lost their satellite which is why the feed switched to a replay. Brutal break" (TWITTER.com, 10/22).
