Brandel Chamblee recently defended the advertisements in PGA Tour events, stating that they were necessary for the game to thrive. In comparison with the NFL, he pointed out that, unlike the football league, golf doesn't have dedicated time-out slots to show ads.
On Saturday, December 28, Chamblee took to X and wrote a long post to counter a few perceptions. One of them was about the abundance of commercials during televised golf. The former PGA Tour professional-turned-analyst defended the advertisements, stating that they were important for the game. He also cited the NFL, which has a significant amount of advertisements.
Australian Golf Passport Podcast host Scott Warren countered that the NFL doesn't show ads during key moments of the game. In response, Brandel Chamblee reasoned that the NFL has dedicated timeouts, unlike televised golf.
