“If it wasn’t on the CW it didn’t happen” – Fans react to the CW Network ending LIV Golf Tulsa broadcast early for a TV show

LIV Golf signed a TV deal with The CW Network for the second season. The weekends had been reserved to broadcast the final two rounds of the LIV Golf Tulsa event. Surprisingly, the network abruptly cut the golf tournament to present another show.

Dustin Johnson was tied for the lead on the 18th hole with Cameron Smith and Brendan Grace. They were on their way to the playoffs to determine the winner of the fifth LIV Golf event when the broadcast lead, Arlo White, announced that the rest of the match would be viewable on the CW App.

LIV Golf Updates announced the news on Twitter with the following caption:
