The TGL enjoys a strategic advantage through its partnership with ESPN, which not only covers production costs but also provides valuable airtime on Monday and Tuesday evenings.

Interestingly, the TGL's ratings coincide with a period of improved viewership for the PGA Tour, as CBS reported an average of 3.4 million viewers for the Genesis Invitational, reflecting a 5% increase from the previous year.

Despite the lower ratings, it is anticipated that ESPN will continue to air TGL matches, as the viewership numbers align with the network's expectations for that particular time slot.

On Presidents Day Monday, the TGL's triple-header matches drew an average of 347,000 viewers on ESPN, 377,000 on ESPN, and 357,000 on ESPN2, marking some of the league's lowest ratings to date.

For the TGL to achieve long-term success, maintaining consistency in viewership is crucial, especially given the current fluctuations that range from a quarter-million to nearly a million viewers.

Although the holiday ratings show slight improvements compared to last year, they still significantly lag behind the 1.05 million viewers who tuned in for Tiger Woods' debut in week two.

In comparison, LIV Golf is facing challenges with its ratings, averaging only 19,000 viewers during its events in Saudi Arabia, underscoring the TGL's relatively stronger position in the golf television landscape.

The TGL's television ratings for week six reveal a mixed performance, indicating that while the league is not a runaway success, it also isn't a total failure, benefiting from a dedicated golf fanbase and institutional support.
