I don't have to see every shot live. I do prefer to watch live golf over Tiger gazing soulfully into the distance.
When it can be accommodated, things aren't happening simultaneously or nearly so, why wouldn't one prefer live action?

This is wrong if you are good at watching golf-- particularly on the weekend where the field is effectively a handful of golfers and you know where they all are on the course.
You can read the background noise as well-- particularly around Amen Corner. You can tell before seeing it that so-and-so must have stuck his approach, made or just missed a long putt, etc. It's golf via radio.
The other thing, and it doesn't happen on CBS, is that when the announcers pretend it is live it can be insulting.
Not hard to say, "And just moments ago...", etc.
