No LPGA Match Play Coverage, BUT...

How did the LPGA manipulate to create a brand new fit play occasion and but NOBODY GOT IT ON TV?

According to the LPGA, it changed into a budget problem with the Citibanamex Lorena Ochoa Match Play organizers. Perhaps it changed into because of this that Tony Jesselli wrote an even longer preview of the event than typical. And the LPGA says they may be going to try to fix this trouble in future years.

But what are you able to do within the intervening time? Fear now not, I even have a solution for you!

I count on you observed the diagram I published above, which got here from that LPGA publish I connected to within the paragraph just beneath it. Here's a quote from that submit, giving greater information about the workaround that the LPGA has put together.

Please visit LPGA.Com and the LPGA app for reports throughout the week and live scoring on opposition days, and follow us on Twitter at @LPGA and @LOYMEXICO for normal updates on the fits. Mexican broadcaster Grupo Televisa will air a 30-minute highlights package on the Saturday and Sunday of the Match Play even as Golf Channel will deliver a highlights/update bundle in the United States for Golf Central on every of the four days of opposition. We can also be streaming on Facebook Live a number of the press conferences and we plan to offer extra insurance of live action from the Hall of Fame exhibition matches over the weekend.

That's not bad for a workaround:

• reports and scoring on LPGA.com and the LPGA app
• regular updates on the Twitter feeds @LPGA and @LOYMEXICO
• 30-minute highlight show on Saturday and Sunday on Grupo Televisa
• highlights and updates on GC in the US all four days
• streaming on Facebook Live for press conferences and live broadcasts of the HoF exhibition matches over the weekend

Granted, that's not as good as a hi-def live TV broadcast, but it's a pretty impressive -- and even aggressive -- use of social media to try and cover as much of the event as possible. Give the LPGA credit for trying to make the best out of a less-than-ideal situation.

In the period in-between, I'd advocate you preserve take a look at on LPGA.Com, their Twitter page and their Facebook web page to peer when things start streaming (or the @LOYMEXICO web page for the Spanish updates). You can locate all of the links and apps at the bottom of the LPGA.Com homepage.
