Your weekly golf tv ratings report

Final round of the Zurich Classic, delayed by weather and a power outage, averaged 1.631M viewers from 3:00-7:40. That's down 12% from 1.852M last year, when Rory McIlroy and Shane Lowry won.
Play Sunday resumed at 5:15. Coverage from then until the finish averaged 2.3M, which would have been a 10-year high for the final round

Golf Channel actually had a strong Sunday. Their lead-in coverage averaged 578,000 viewers, up 14% from last year and the largest for that window since 2014
FS1 averaged 110,000 viewers for Sunday's final round of LIV Golf Mexico City, won by Joaquin Niemann.

The was 2 PM to 6:40 PM local time.
1.5 hours of that was the rain delay when they showed the final round from 2024.
I am not sure how long the technical difficulties lasted.
It appears that CBS was not able to show any live golf before the rain delay, but when CBS was actually able to show live golf at 4:15 pm, the viewership was up.

The worst part for LIV was not even being on tv Saturday afternoon. I tried to watch around 3 and couldn't, but I'm sure it's coming the product is great and all and they have millions of caffeine tv views we're not counting. Or the youtubers will save LIV or something...
LIV needs to just die, no one is watching

Accordong to Jim, they had a stacked leaderboard too.

Imagine paying the production costs and all those ridiculous contracts and then getting 1/3 of the ratings of PBA bowling. The only entity that could sustain such losses is the PIF.

That’s pathetic given the RBC last week had 4.4M viewers with no McIlroy in the field.
Zurich has to disappointed and should question their sponsorship of the event.

And that included going head to head with LIV, having a long weather delay and having zero TV feed for over an hour. Not horrible at all for the Zurich. I was out there on Saturday and had a blast like always.

Zurich was packed Friday and Saturday. Sunday looked slammed before the delay as well.
These numbers are horrendous for LIV. They had one of their better leaderboards, going against a non elevated event in a weather delay, and on a widely watched channel.
Not sure even Jim could spin those.

Heck I tried to watch some of LIV when Zurich was in technical difficulties / rain delay… just not entertaining. Announcers suck, there is no story line really, hard to follow the holes and where players were at. Just not a great watch.

LIV is a tough watch, but it only has 14 events and they are on strategic dates in the early-mid season to compete against the weak sisters of the PGA tour (of which the Zurich is one). They will also compete same week as the Rocket and Scottish.

Personally I went to the Zurich on Friday and then watched the LIV on Sunday. The leaderboard was just significantly better.
It’s not a bad product overall, if it was, the PGA tour wouldn’t be trying so hard to copy it the past 2 years.
The PGA Tour Commish is the douche here. He’s the only reason why there are 2 tours, dudes committing suicide on the PGA Tour, removing Q School and Monday Qualifying spots, etc.
Monahan is a terrorist.
