The ability to see 4K is not limited to the sets ability to receive and display 4K, but also it's ability to render the 4K signal on a screen. Cheaper sets can't render a 4K signal much better than they can a 1080P signal.

There are varying levels of picture quality on TV's. Better ones have smaller pixels, better color reproduction, and better black and white levels.. 4K on a $500 75" TV will not be nearly as clear as 4K on $1,500 TV (generally speaking).
I definitely have high quality TV. The golf tournament has a very high quality picture, but all of my HD channels have a similar quality. I just cannot say that the 4K picture is any different from other channels. I suspect that the golf tournament is not native 4K, but an upscaled conversion. Wouldn't they need to use a lot of expensive 4K cameras to broadcast a golf tournament in native 4K?
