The Showdown, featuring some of the world’s best golfers, marked the second-lowest viewership numbers in "The Match" series. The recently concluded made-for-the-TV event had many looking forward to it as it featured PGA Tour players going up against LIV Golfers.
There were high expectations that it would draw major numbers from golf audiences. However, the event, which concluded on December 17, could only draw 625K viewers across the two networks it was streamed on, TNT and TBS.
As reported by golf journalist Josh Carpenter, The Showdown received the second-lowest total of viewers in "The Match" series. Carpenter shared a post on X (formerly Twitter), writing:
"The ballyhooed Crypto Showdown, the event the entire golf world had been clamoring for, drew a whopping 625k viewers across two networks (TNT/TBS) on Tuesday. For comparison, that would rank as the second-lowest total ever in “The Match” series."
