Netflix Cup: Fans brand golf event 'biggest s**t show' as Lando Norris and Co play gimmicky holes and broadcast shows more TV and movie previews than on-course action

Netflix's first live produced sporting event, a crossover between Formula 1 and the PGA Tour, has gone from top of the podium to back of the pack. The so-called 'Netflix Cup' golf tournament began with protestors on the first tee and a gimmicky opening hole - setting the tone for what fans viewed as a disaster ahead. Fans of both sports who watched the event were up in arms about the broadcast Instead of playing a full-on match play event, event organizers decided to involve convoluted 'challenge holes'. Confusion set in from the start with this 'race' hole that saw all four golfers try to finish first The 'Squid Game' hole was just one example of the event's reliance on gimmicks over golf This image was the only evidence that Carlos Sainz and Justin Thomas won their match People at home heard that in part due to the poor sound quality - where multiple microphones were on at the same time and the players were essentially speaking over each other. Instead of showing the final hole that the Sainz/Thomas team won over Norris/Fowler, the crew decided to show an 'Unforgettable Moment presented by Nespresso' where Albon compared the Squid Games doll to his girlfriend.
