“That’s a horrible number for TGL” – Fans react to TGL’s viewership numbers at match featuring Tiger Woods

The latest TGL match featuring Tiger Woods saw comparatively better viewership than the third week. The fourth week of the tech-infused league drew an average audience of 864K, a rise of over 182K from the third match.

TGL Match 4 was one of the most anticipated clashes, as both co-founders, Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy, were in action. The showdown lived up to the hype, going to overtime before Jupiter Links GC sealed their first win against Boston Common GC.

On Tuesday, January 28, Josh Carpenter of Sports Business Journal reported that the fourth week of the TGL averaged 864K viewers. However, it was still far from being the most-viewed game. For the uninitiated, Week 2, which marked Woods' TGL debut, averaged 1.05 million viewers. However, Week 3 saw a sharp decline, drawing only 682K.

Fans online had mixed reactions to the TGL viewership reports. While many praised the statistics, several others felt that the numbers were not impressive enough.

Here's a look at some reactions:

"That’s a horrible number for TGL," one fan wrote.

"Wow what a time to be alive," another fan posted.

"Horrible number with Tiger and Rory in it," one fan wrote.

"When it’s close it’s brilliant when it’s not close it can get tiresome. Give each team 3 hammers that they can use anytime and it doesn’t swap," this fan commented.

"So this is basically a way to get Tiger Woods on TV for golf, since he is the only golfer non hardcore golf fans still care about, while working around the fact that he can no longer walk or play golf at a high level. Kind of like Tyson at Wrestlemania," this user opined.

"NHL 1st Round Playoffs averaged 900K viewers and they have a $700 Million a year deal. TGL doesn’t need to bring in millions of viewers to be successful down time programming," another fan posted.
