Golf Fans Rip ESPN For Adam Schefter Coverage Thursday originally appeared on The Spun.
Adam Schefter is getting into a new sport this week.
The popular ESPN NFL insider is working as an on-the-course golf reporter at the Travelers Championship on Thursday. He’s working a featured group of Rory McIlroy and Keegan Bradley. Schefter, known for his NFL coverage, is a major golf fan as well, working as an on-the-course reporter for ESPN+.
However, many golf fans are not happy with him.
Golf fans have taken to X, formerly known as Twitter, to complain about ESPN’s over-the-top coverage of Schefter and his golf course shenanigans on Thursday.
“We’ve got Adam Schefter out there calling shots, what else could you want?” the broadcasters said.
But golf fans are not happy.
“Boy i think PGA Tour Live really overestimated how much folks want to see Adam Schefter on their TV screens lol. don’t need the constant cuts to a man holding a microphone watching some golf” one fan wrote.
“ESPN rolling out Adam Schefter for on course PGA Tour coverage is financial surrender,” one fan added.
“It makes zero sense to advertise Adam Schefter as an on-course reporter if the other on-course reporter does all the work and Adam barely speaks,” one fan added.
“Everything espn does with their reporters is tiresome at this point. I don’t care if Darlington is the golf guy, don’t care if schefter is either lol. Just show the event,” one fan added.
“As if it’s Adam Schefter’s personality that has earned him a following,” one fan added.
“Thank GOODNESS PGA Tour Live is doing a split screen so we can watch Adam Schefter watch golf. A dream come true,” one fan joked.
