They couldn’t generate the same level of viewership as the duo of Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers did in their golf match against Mahomes and Josh Allen. According to sports reporter Joe Pompliano, there was a significant drop in viewership compared to the previous game.

In a tweet, he stated, “The Match with Mahomes, Kelce, Curry & Thompson averaged 773k viewers. That’s not a bad number — the NHL Draft had 681k viewers last week on ESPN — but it’s a 46% drop YoY & the least-watched version yet. It feels like the novelty is wearing off. Let’s get the pros back in it!” The 773k views were the combined total from two platforms on which the game was televised, whereas Brady’s match garnered 640k views from just one platform. The noticeable disparity in viewership indicates the captivating effect that Tom Brady had during that particular event. And the legend did not disappoint his fans.
