TGL Ratings Plummet: Fans Question Fake Golf Format
8 Jan
Summary
- TGL Season 2 ratings show a nearly 30% decline in week one.
- Week two viewership dropped by nearly 65% compared to last season.
- Fans compared TGL's declining viewership to LIV Golf's struggles.
The second season of the tech-infused TGL golf series, featuring stars like Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy, has seen a dramatic drop in television ratings. Week one viewership on ABC averaged 646,000 viewers, a nearly 30% decrease from last season's 919,000 viewers on ESPN.
Further declines were evident in week two, with ratings plummeting from 1.05 million in the previous season to 354,000 viewers on ESPN2. This significant drop has prompted widespread discussion among fans on social media.
Fans have drawn comparisons to LIV Golf's viewership challenges, with some suggesting that a combined audience might be more substantial. The discourse includes criticisms of the "fake golf" format and suggestions for improvements such as a second announcer to enhance energy and commentary.
