About 61 million people play golf worldwide, about 2 million watch PGA regular events. Maybe 10 million watch majors.
About 10 million watch final round of the Masters. About 89,000 watched final round of LIV.
So two thoughts.
LIV is clearly irrelevant. Rick Shields or not. (But clearly Rick is bigger than LIV, and that’s just funny). God knows why the PGA doesn’t just ignore LIV.
There is something wrong with the way golf is shown on the TV. Such a large potential audience, such a poor turnout.
Do you play? Do you watch? Does anyone actually watch week to week PGA or DP Tour events (not majors).
