That's not what I said. Liv is just UK figures on YouTube. Different regions have different viewing platforms and figures.

What I said is 1.3m people are prepared to pay to watch golf on Sky but only a few thousand are prepared to watch LIV for free because to many golf fans it doesn't interest them.

Because they already have their fill of golf.
What we need to see is how many have stopped watching. Given up their subscription.
That's the true affect.

You're not making sense.
In 2022 there were 1,035,000 people playing golf in the UK. The highest viewing figure for LIV on Youtube that I have personally seen is 19k. I don't know if that is just UK or other regions as well but based on how many people play in the UK the viewing figures suggest to me that LIV needs to improve it's broadcast format.

Which bit is speculation?

Well the fact that YOU have only seen the highest doesn't make it fact?
Fine to fully search the sky side but not giving a level playing field with Liv research
A loaded argument ..

OK....provide the Youtube viewing figures for LIV golf in the UK please?
How does the 1.3m figure come about? Is it 4xPGA per week X 4 weeks + 4xDPTour X 4 weeks = 32 days of golf across 2 tours. And then the same number of people X 32 giving the 1.3m?
The reason I pose the question that way is a follow up post of yours says there’s just over 1m golfers in the U.K. Ok some non-golfers may watch Sky but there’s also a number of golfers who either don’t have a Sky subscription or just don’t watch golf on TV.
I find your numbers highly questionable.

Ok, then Sky’s figures look questionable based on my previous post.

I have no idea on the breakdown of their figures and how many broadcasts it covers but it highlights that people are prepared to pay to watch a good product but not prepared to watch a substandard product even when it is free.
Playing Devil’s Advocate isn’t “good product,” and “substandard product” a subjective opinion?

I get Sky golf with my Sky Sports package by default, I also get Sky F1 but never watch it

And the table quoted by Spotty C says “reach,” not “watched…”

With everything stripped back ignoring graphics , commentary etc the actual hitting of the golf ball will be of the highest level on both tours - there are quality players playing both , the golf played by Rahm will be at the same high level as the golf played by Scheffler etc
There is no doubt that when it comes the quality within the top level of each tour it’s pretty even
But something must be stopping people from watching LIV when in the UK it’s free , their App I believe is free but level of downloads wasn’t more than 500k worldwide. Yes you can get you tube on the sky through the app , but what is stopping more from watching it ? Is it because it’s on when there is football on ?
LIV used to announce how many viewers they had but stopped last year , if it was being viewed handsomely I would expect them to be shouting from the roofs about their numbers
