Deep dives

Declining Golf Viewership

Golf viewership has been decreasing significantly, with ratings dropping across various tournaments by percentages ranging from 5% to 39%. Despite exciting events like the Players Championship, which saw close competition and drama on the final day, the viewership numbers don't reflect the engagement. The decline in viewership is attributed to various factors like the impact of Liv Golf and Tiger Woods' reduced participation, but the underlying issues of golf as a niche and expensive sport contribute to the overall problem.
