CBS defended its coverage by highlighting strong ratings for the Masters final round, noting it was the most-watched final round at Augusta National in about a decade, with about 14 million average viewers and a peak near 20 million. Kisner’s critique occurred amid a broader discussion about live-shot timing and on-air workflow during the final holes.

Kisner subsequently apologized for going “too far” in his criticism, expressing that his comments may have crossed a line, though he reaffirmed concerns about live-shot clarity and timing. This apology was reported across several golf outlets and follows his initial criticisms.
