The recent showdown between LIV Golf and the PGA Tour may not have resulted in a merger, but it has certainly helped LIV Golf gain legitimacy. Despite Bryson DeChambeau and Brooks Koepka losing the event, LIV Golf’s social media handle saw a significant boost, with a drastic change in engagement before and after the event. This increased visibility will undoubtedly help LIV Golf build its brand, attract sponsors, and create a more inclusive environment for golfers across both leagues. As discussed on the Drop Zone podcast, “LIV was a winner” in terms of how they portrayed themselves after the loss, showcasing a desire for peace in the golf world.
The viewership numbers for The Showdown also revealed some interesting insights. While the event drew 600K viewers, which was considered low by the panel, it was still a significant improvement for LIV Golf, representing twice their usual weekend viewership. In comparison, the PGA Tour’s average weekend viewership is three times higher. Nevertheless, LIV Golf’s approach to player freedom and hefty contracts seems to be paying off, and they may eventually pose a significant threat to the PGA Tour’s popularity. As the golf world continues to evolve, it will be fascinating to see how LIV Golf and the PGA Tour navigate their complicated relationship.
