If fans were hoping to track the 2025 Baycurrent Classic in Japan from the comfort of their homes, they were in for a different kind of thrill — watching literally nothing happen. The PGA Tour’s lone stop in Japan, an $8 million event held at Yokohama Country Club, was supposed to bring global fans closer to the action. Instead, the tech united them in the dark, and now, they’re not holding back on X.

A few hours ago, social media lit up with angry posts over the PGA Tour’s malfunctioning shot tracker and broken scoring updates. “The shot tracker for the @Baycurrent_Clsc this week is so tilting. Can’t follow anything at all, so hard to sweat the plays!” one user posted. Another vented, “According to the PGA Tour’s shot tracker, Xander Schauffele is still waiting to tee off on the 1st hole. His tee time was 20 minutes ago…”
The frustration didn’t stop there, with one account declaring, “This shot tracker is absolutely pathetic.” Another account, attempting to follow Danish golfer Rasmus Højgaard, wrote, “2 hours in and Rasmus has played 5 holes surely he has played more than that, but the shot tracker has been a disaster so far this week.”
For an international event carrying an $8 million purse, expectations were high. But with updates crawling in so slowly and with multiple technical glitches, it left fans frustrated. The PGA Tour hasn’t yet responded to the outrage, but if they want to avoid more issues from piling up, they might need a fix soon.
