NBC’s Kevin Kisner Issues Apology to CBS After Criticizing Their Masters Coverage – “I Went Too Far”
Kisner said CBS showed taped action and missed shots before later apologizing on the Fore Play podcast, saying he crossed the line.
- NBC golf analyst Kevin Kisner apologized on Thursday for his harsh critique of CBS's Masters coverage, admitting he "crossed the line" by publicly disparaging the network's production team.
- Earlier this week, Kisner claimed on the Barstool Sports "Fore Play" podcast that CBS's Masters broadcast misled viewers by airing taped footage as live, describing it as a "fantasy world."
- Frustrated by timing delays, Kisner texted CBS analyst Colt Knost during the tournament, asking, "Do y'all ever show a live shot?" and claiming segments lagged by 10 minutes.
- Such public criticism between competing broadcast crews is rare in the industry; Kisner, a PGA Tour winner and NBC employee, acknowledged CBS remains a partner in showcasing the game.
- The analyst and his NBC crew will now shift focus to upcoming major tournaments, preparing to lead television coverage of this year's U.S. Open and Open Championship.
