They're not as far as I'm aware - but when people have looked into the number of people watching LIV, from the various data points available - the YouTube numbers are pretty insignificant.
Ak OK, so just guess work then (y)

Currently 11k watching on YouTube including me.
Thats a quite a fiasco. With respect to your good self, 11k on youtube can reasonably be rounded to say that nobody is watching. Despite the trumpeted claims for youtube being : how the youf watch sport, its as easy to stream youtube to your TV as it is to have sky sports, you can watch it wherever you are, its free. Still, nobody is watching, on the only platform that LIV can't muzzle the figures for viewership. Its safe to say that even fewer than zero people are watching on the less accessible platforms. And nobody is at the tournament in person.
This has to be a concern for LIV, even with their few recent big name recruits, and jettisoning some of the dross. Still, nobody cares. Is it there are still far too many nobodies in such a small field? A handful to top golfers doesnt a golf tournament make. And the lingering feel that we know none of them really want to be there until they are offered so much money, that their reluctance is bought off. Or is the shotgun format just not suited to the pace of golf that people know ? The teams push is still clearly a self inflicted wound that they dont seem to want to let go. It is cringe. Nobody is taken in by the manufactured trash talk, team bants, and fake competition between them as if it means something. Sportingly meaningless, with no more coherence than a weekly cobbled together team on TV panel show. Unless they really poach all the crown jewels from PGAT, it is starting to look more and more like LIV could fail through lack of viewers. Firing the Rahm bazooka doesnt seem to have done anything. Worrying times for them I would feel.

No, not at all - this is just one platform, there are many more across the world, including the relatively insignificant YouTube viewing figures...

You are saying 'other figures' are available but you are unable to put any numbers on them so basically you are just guessing. In reality you have no idea how many people are watching (or not as the case may be)

If just given you a figure of nearly a million views that demonstrates the You Tube numbers are pretty insignificant - which is what my original point was.

But I asked you where these numbers come from and you can't answer but you produce a number of 1 million.....from where? Source please?

For what it's worth, LIV reported year-on-year increase in viewing figures across all measured platforms of 173% and 317% for the first two events of the season.

Which prob needs a bit more context

How many actual viewers because they stop publishing their viewing figures last year when there was a drop ?

There was an increase in viewers for the Sunday in Mexico when the PGAT event was washed out on the last day

Has Anthony Kim had work done? Just caught a glimpse of him and he looked different.t


The pictures I have seen have shown him hiding behind glasses and a hat - looks awkward walking as well
