"Compared to TGL’s 544,000 for Tuesday. Not bad" - Fans react to LIV Golf Adelaide's staggering viewership numbers

LIV Golf Adelaide has recorded a decent viewership in the US and Australia. It is arguably one of the most popular events of the Saudi league, and for the final round of the tournament, there was an average of 249,000 viewers on Fox between 11 PM to 2:30 AM, while the average Australian viewership was around 225,000.

The first round of the tournament had around 114,000 average viewers on the FS1 network. LIV Golf has signed a new broadcast deal with Fox Sports to present the tournaments on its network in 2025.

Nuclr Golf recently shared stats of the final round viewership of the LIV Golf Adelaide event on its X (formerly Twitter) account, along with the caption saying:

"The viewership data for the final round of LIV Golf Adelaide are in. — U.S. Viewership: 249,000 average viewers on FOX between 11PM - 230 AM (Nielsen - via @YeahClickClack)— Australian Viewership: 225,000 average viewers on Channel Seven. (Via @TV_Blackbox)"

Fans jumped to the comment section to share their opinions on the views of the LIV Golf Adelaide event. However, they were critical of the series and compared it with the average viewing of Tiger Woods's tech-infused TGL Series.

"Compared to TGL’s 544,000 for Tuesday. Not bad, not bad at all," a fan wrote.

Some criticized the event, while some even compared it to last week's PGA Tour event, the Genesis Invitational, held at Torrey Pines.

"See! No one is interested in exhibition golf," one more fan added.

"Compared to the 3.4 MILLION viewers for the final round of the Genesis…," another fan said.

Meanwhile, some fans were not too thrilled with the numbers while others suggested advertising more about LIV Golf events and its new broadcasting partner.

"These seems embarrassingly low," one more fan added.

"To be fair, nobody knew it was even on FS1 or 2. Gotta advertise it just a little," a fan said.

"So still unbelievably terrible but better than the extraordinarily terrible that they had been producing since the start. This is their best event by a mile too so not great. Luckily viewership isn’t a factor for them since it’s not a serious business," another fan jotted.
