"Your coverage is ruining the game" - Fans callout PGA Tour for poor coverage of Taylor Pendrith's historic Albatross

Fans on social media called out the PGA Tour for its poor coverage of Taylor Pendrith’s historic albatross at the 2025 Sentry. The Canadian golfer made history by recording the first albatross at the event in 27 years during the final round of the season-opening tournament.

The PGA Tour shared a video of Pendrith’s phenomenal shot on its X (formerly Twitter) account, stating:

"THE BIG BIRD! Taylor Pendrith makes the first ALBATROSS in the 27-year history of @TheSentry."

However, fans were quick to criticize the blurry video and the overall coverage of the tournament in the comments section.

"Your coverage is ruining the game," a fan wrote.

"I bet you you could hire 18 guys each to sit and film a hole for a limited field event. Probably pay em 20 an hour and a couple beers and you'd almost have half of the quality YouTube golf has," another fan said.

Many expressed their disappointment, highlighting the lack of quality in showcasing such a historic moment.

"Why is the video so bad? Are times that tough NBC cannot afford a decent camera? What a joke this tour and coverage are," one more fan wrote.

"20 groups out there and no cameras on an ably," a fan jotted.

How did Taylor Pendrith perform at The Sentry?

Taylor Pendrith had a mixed outing at the 2025 Sentry. He struggled in the opening round, carding a 2-under 71. He started with a bogey on the first hole but managed three birdies on the front nine. On the back nine, he recorded a bogey and a birdie, finishing the round at 2 under.

Pendrith bounced back with an impressive 8-under 65 in the second round. He made nine birdies and one bogey, which came on the 18th hole. He started the third round with two consecutive bogeys but recovered with birdies on the fifth, sixth, and ninth holes. He added three more birdies and an eagle on the back nine to finish at 6-under 67.

The Canadian delivered a remarkable performance in the final round, making an albatross on the par-5 fifth hole. He also carded five birdies and a double bogey, finishing with another 6-under 67.

Following the event, Pendrith reflected on his performance during a press conference (via ASAP Sports):

"That's pretty cool, yeah. No, I had a really good number, and was just trying to hit a hard 6-iron and land it kind of front third and let it chase back, and as soon as I hit it I knew it was going to be really good, didn't expect it to go in, didn't see it go in, but the fans that were up by the green went crazy, so, yeah, it was a really good bonus."

Pendrith finished in a tie for 13th place at 22-under par alongside Cam Davis. Hideki Matsuyama won the tournament with rounds of 65, 65, 62, and 65, securing a dominant victory.
