You’re probably wondering what’s going on with the TGL schedule this week. Well, let’s get straight to it – the next match is on February 17th at 1:00 PM ET, featuring Atlanta Drive GC vs Los Angeles Golf Club, with an all-star roster including Patrick Cantlay, Tommy Fleetwood, and Justin Thomas.
You might have probably noticed that the TGL schedule is looking a bit empty this week. So, what’s going on? Well, it’s all about the Genesis Invitational, one of the biggest and most exciting tournaments on the PGA Tour schedule. This week, all eyes are on the Riviera Country Club in California, where the world’s top golfers are gathering to compete for the top prize.
It’s no surprise that the TGL has taken a backseat this week – when Tiger Woods is hosting an event, you know it’s going to be huge. The Genesis Invitational is a massive deal, and golf fans everywhere are eagerly waiting to see who’ll come out on top. And with golfers like Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy in the field, it is bound to be fierce. Don’t worry, though because the TGL will be back in action soon, with a thrilling triple-header lined up for Presidents’ Day. So, mark your calendars and get ready for the excitement!
The exceptional league will, without a doubt, make some noise next week while wishing that the dark clouds of declining viewership do not follow them this time.
TGL has more problems than solutions
Nobody would’ve thought that the TGL, a high-tech golf league backed by some of the biggest names in the sport, would be struggling to find its footing just three weeks into its inaugural season. But here we are, with the latest viewership numbers painting a worrying picture. The third week of TGL saw a significant drop-off in viewers, with an average of just 682,000 tuning in to watch Justin Thomas’s Atlanta Drive Golf Club take on Rickie Fowler’s New York Golf Club. That’s a whopping 30% decline from the previous week and a far cry from the 919,000 viewers who watched the league’s debut match.
The TGL’s early struggles have been hard to ignore. The matches so far have lacked real tension, with Week three’s 4-0 blowout being the latest example. It’s raised questions about whether the TGL is more focused on showcasing cutting-edge tech than delivering genuine competition. However, there are some encouraging signs. The TGL is resonating with a younger audience, with a remarkable 43% of viewers falling within the coveted 18-49 age range. This demographic goldmine is sure to attract advertisers. Next Monday’s highly anticipated matchup between Jupiter Links and Rory McIlroy’s Boston Common Golf Club could be the spark the TGL needs. With Tiger Woods potentially facing off against Rory McIlroy, the stage is set for a thrilling showdown. Do you think this will be the moment the TGL finds its footing?
