• CBS was airing the 2018 Farmer's Insurance Open Sunday night.
• It ran over into the Grammys red carpet's scheduled time. 
• People on Twitter were not happy.

On Sunday night, many turned their TVs to CBS thinking they'd get to catch the broadcast of stars walking the red carpet before the 2018 Grammy Awards ceremony. But they quickly found that the network wasn't showing the scheduled red carpet broadcast and was instead showing golf.

The 2018 Farmer's Insurance Open apparently ran over its scheduled time and into the time allotted for the red carpet pre-show.

CBS issued a tweet assuring users that the red carpet would be shown as normal after golf concluded and that the Grammys would still air at 7:30 p.m.

Tweet >GRAMMY® RED CARPET LIVE will begin once golf concludes. The 60th Annual #GRAMMYs start at 7:30pm ET / 4:30pm PT as scheduled. pic.twitter.com/wT0FPU2vzj

The golf broadcast lasted until a little after 7 p.m. EST, giving just about a half an hour for the network's broadcast. 

Needless to say, people were not happy about it.

Tweet >Huge #Fail from @CBS covering up #GRAMMYs #redcarpet by #golf. I would rather watch paint dry.Tweet >Me: I think I'll turn on the #GRAMMYs and watch the red carpet.

CBS: How about the most boring-a** finish to a golf tournament played at a glacial pace instead?Tweet >When you can't watch the #Grammys Red carpet on @CBS because they are still showing the PGA golf tour. pic.twitter.com/WhmnwuVQYd

 

Tweet >CBS program guide says Grammy Red Carpet is on now, but they are broadcasting golf. Maybe this is why nobody watches traditional TV any more?

Although users should also have been able to stream the red carpet happenings on the CBS app, apparently that was showing golf as well.

Tweet >this just in: the grammy red carpet is actually green and also people are playing golf on it according to CBS All Access pic.twitter.com/LTvY0cI0gY

It was not the only scheduling issue that CBS had. Earlier, the Michigan State and University of Maryland men's basketball game aired on CBS and went into overtime, delaying the beginning of the golf tournament.

Tweet >Seriously this is why college basketball is awful it’s taken 10 minutes to play the last 15 seconds, while they delay Tiger on Sunday Golf smh @CBS come one
