For reference, the LIV weekend Fox main broadcast coverage is down almost 50% from their last main Fox broadcast coverage at Miami (263,000 only on Fox for Dallas and 480k for Miami)


It’s completely drowning. There is no way they will keep putting it on Fox with that number. That’s unheard of bad

I find LIV golf to be unwatchable. And I really want to see these guys compete.

LIV has got to be paying for their air time on Fox right?

More people watched Thursday/Friday coverage of the Rocket Classic on Golf Channel than watched the 2nd round of LIV on Fox. That's rather insane.



Good lord

if they aren’t someone at Fox is getting fired

LIv is completely dead in this country. It is put on non cable main channels on the weekend during the deadest time of sports and it can’t get any traction at all.

We know which event had better attendance

You missed this giant graphic?



And attendance numbers have not yet been released for the rocket classic. Estimates are 50-70k

The bigger holy frick is Rocket classic(a low tier PgA tour event) averaged 360k viewers for Thursday and Friday on golf channel

LIV on Fox , on a a Saturday, averaged 260k

That’s remarkable

Jim how do you feel about these ratings and the traction liv is “gaining”?

I think everybody agrees that moving to FOX is better than the CW. Unfortunate that they can’t consistently be on FOX & get pushed to FS1/FS2.

All of their tournaments in August will be on main FOX, so that should be a better assessment. I’ve never expected LIV to get comparable or more viewers than the PGA Tour, especially in year 4.

Did you expect LIV to be losing viewers as they progress?

Even measured against themselves they are going backwards man. And losing on viewership to the golf channel coverage?

They have no shot in America. None. They never did same as any other spin off pro sports league

Is this your source?

Interesting that hardly any PGA events are having “good” years in attendance. Attendance seems to be way down actually

No, and that source is awful

quote:

Zurich Classic of New Orleans TPC Louisiana 35,000 - 45,000


They had over 100k

They had 37k on Saturday alone

Also

WM Phoenix Open

Just thought it was interesting that you were estimating 50-70k & that’s what is listed as a “good” year.

It definitely didn’t look like a large crowd in Detroit while you openly claimed “LIV doesn’t bring fans”

This is embarrassing. Even for you.
