  • The next match will be the one between Woods and Rorys team, and many expect that this match will break records.

The article from MSN discusses the impact of Tiger Woods' absence on the viewership of TGL, a new golf league, during its third week of competition. Despite the league featuring other notable golfers like Rory McIlroy, Justin Thomas, and Rickie Fowler, the ratings for the event on ESPN experienced a significant decline. Specifically, the viewership dropped by 58% from the previous week, with only 176,000 viewers tuning in compared to 422,000 the week before. This sharp decrease is attributed to Woods not playing due to an illness, highlighting his substantial draw for viewers. The article also notes that TGL, which is backed by Woods and McIlroy, aims to modernize golf with a tech-forward approach, but the absence of Woods has clearly affected its initial viewership numbers.
