Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy's TGL's future in doubt as viewership drops over 50% in 12 matches

Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy's TGL viewership is consistently declining, as the Tuesday game saw little improvement from Monday's. The series' Match 12 took place on Tuesday, February 25, between Jupiter Links GC and Bay GC.

The match, first of the season where Jupiter Links played in Tiger Woods' absence, barely crossed the 300K mark in viewership. This was 50 percent lower compared to match 1 of the tech-infused league, which garnered over 910K viewers.

As per Nielsen, the 12th match of the tech-infused league garnered 384K viewers, 29% lower than Match 5, which also had a 9 pm start on ESPN. Besides, this was the lowest primetime ESPN TGL viewership to date, bringing forth doubts regarding the series' interest.

Earlier, the Monday matches also recorded the lowest viewership for the league so far. The first match of the day on ESPN2 drew 263K viewers during the 5 pm slot, while the late window garnered 297K.
