I wonder if they will be brave enough to turn on the live chat for the streams.There is a live youtube test run on the Liv Golf channel. It currently has 13 viewers
How many young people watch golf? Who are the future of the game
When I was under 25 I found golf so boring I never watched
Apart from keen golfers how many will watch it?
This isn't to appeal to the likes of the people on here who love golf, love the game. It's to appeal to the mass market who are indifferent
Why do you think it’s going to attract young people and also people who don’t watch golf ?
Who is this “mass market” that’s untapped
So the decent PGA tour events normally get around 3-4 million in the US alone for the final round
do we reckon the first or final round will be anywhere near that on youtube of this event bearing in mind the hype and news stories etc

How many viewers would you consider a success?

anything over 100k i reckon
i have absolutely no idea tbh its hard to gauge with it being in the UK... it starts 9am ET over in America so not a great time for viewership over there
I go to T20 cricket once or twice a year but never been or will go to a test match.
Its that same market but in golf. Those that want a quick hit of entertainment with sport at the centre of it, but not something that drags on for days.
then create a 9 hole course with every hole a 330 yard par 4 and holes the size of basketball hoops
T20 and Test cricket are completely different versions of the game with shorter boundaries fielding restrictions etc
this is still the same sport that will take 4-5 hours i reckon for 3 days
How many people watch events like the Ryder cup but not normal events ? Shorter formats. Easier viewing.
I watch 5-6 events a year
4 majors
Players
Ryder cup
And I love golf
I will be watching this.
So it drags on for 3 days rather than 4.....in the grand scheme of things that isn't a milestone...if it was a one day thing then that would equate to the difference between Test Cricket and T20...But it is shorter. It's not 72 holes it's 54
Very different

Does that make any difference to how it’s watched on TV? They can still only show one shot at a time, and it will still take 4 or 5 hours to complete each round.
So it’s still just golf fans then ? No “new” audience
