California’s pebble beach-Rory Mcilroy reached the pebble beach after 9 am on Tuesday, and found that the fog had lifted two ways.
McIlroy can see the sixth green on Pebble Beach for the first time in at least one year.
He can peek at the future of golf.
Last year, Mcilroy left the Montreid Peninsula after a painful and rainy championship, marking the beginning of the dull PGA tour. The TV ratings have remained strong in the first few years when the Liv of Golf is split, falling on pebbles, and will not recover in the 2024 season. The ratings of this tour on the weekend of 24 years have fallen by 15 %, which makes a period full of issues of entertainment in this sport.
This year, Mcilroy (FLA. Golf World back to the pebble beach for a week from his motherland, so that the male high tone of this season is closely behind, McIlroom (McIlroy) to the people watching on TV Hope to have some clear ideas.
McRur said on the podium of AT & T Pebble Beach Pro-AM: “Look, this is a balance,” he will soon start his first PGA tour in 2025. The best thing is that the last thing we think of is to be an artist. At the end of the day, we are a competitive person. We want to fight against the best players in the world, and we want to try to stand out. I think this should be entertaining. “
McRur arrived at the pebble beach late this week, but his delay was forgiven. On Monday night, he starred in the best game of TGL: the overtime game between Boston Ballon and the Jupiter link of Tiger Woods, about 864,000 average audiences watched. TGL shared good TV ratings with the world in four weeks with the world.
What does this mean for the PGA tour? It is true that there are not many. The new alliance will not affect the bottom line of the tour, and the friendly relationship between the two parties is also a good -faith posture, which is one of the good things. (The TGL and PGA Tour is a formal “partner”, but the scope of the agreement is still unknown.) However, due to another slow weekend of Tori Panes, another round How to “repair” the fierce debate of the PGA Tour, McLouri wants to know if this TGL may provide some answers.
“I think [the PGA Tour] Has reduced [by golf’s other entertainment offerings]”McLouri said.” What I would say is that, it is like TGL can only last for two months. You will break out in January, February and March, and then complete. It has basically disappeared for 10 months. What I want to say is that I hope to add some of the ecosystems. “
TGL is a fascinating launch point about Golf TV’s future bigger discussion, because it yes Golf’s future … or at least some people are similar to it. Former Golf Channel BIGWIG/TGL founder Mike McCarley established a golden period. The simulator golf league televisionEssence Every corner and crack have optimized and maximized the people who watch at home. It was hardly expected that the tradition of golf existence of elite or fresh air. result? Fans have grown into the most important progress of the worship alliance, such as the interview of shooting clocks and players, and ESPN’s ratings are more than ten years in the traditional golf on TV.
What needs to be clear is that this is not all peaches. Many golf traditionalists hate everything about TGL’s sacredness of this sport. Many conventional fans are rejected by the Hollywood vision of the league, and at least 150,000 in the first TV broadcast of Tiger’s first TV broadcast The audience did not come back for the second time. But TGL yes As the calendar flipped to 2025, one of the many efforts of golf modernization in the entire movement. The alliance may not be as popular or welcomed by people like YouTube golf. The golf is still riding a Brysonify open -bull running, but it is a vision of 18 holes, leisurely pace or sunlight or grass. -In at least some people seem to be back.
Of course, TGL is a new product, which helps it. As McIlroom pointed out, it helps TGL only about six weeks, and then disappears for 10 months. The golf calendar may have requested this timetable. The calendar strengthened around April, but it has an additional benefit to turning TGL into limited edition products. People are inspired to watch within a few weeks of occurrence, so as not to completely miss them. Perhaps a course was provided to friends of McRur during the tour.
“I think all this has space.” “I can see when golf consumers may feel a little tired of everything they can use. Therefore, shrink it a little bit, and we have done in what we have done. There may be more scarcity in some things (such as NFL).

Scarce … just like less competition?
“Yes, yes. I think there are too many games every year every year.”
This is an interesting method-to date to date-the future of golf: the PGA tour is smaller than today. Few events will make this trip more choose their resources, forcing players to meet in the same environment, and signals clearly to fans when they should watch TV on TV. Ironically, the signature event model was established to solve these problems, but the model stopped the incident of cutting the tour plan. This change will damage the working class of the tour (knowing nothing to TV income).
It is difficult to say that golf is scarce. Since the commissioner Jay Monahan took over the tour in January 2017, the schedule of the tour only Expand size. Therefore, the problem is quality Golf or quantity? McLouri has his answer.
He said, “I came out last year, but what I want to say is that the last round of the US Open was very interesting last year. This is a purely competitive golf.” “I think the more we can enter such a plan, the better. “
“These are the things that have already begun.” “But just like we are our professional golf player, we want to go there to shoot the best results that we can and try to defeat each other. I hope people will find this kind of entertainment, if not, then I don’t know what to tell them. “
A world of golf is less and more serious? sounds good. A golf world, stars like Rory Mcilroy, have not been forced to spend too much energy, that is, there is a problem of survival of golf public attraction? It sounds good.
