Paige Spiranac offered an interesting theory Tuesday as to why the TV ratings for the final round of the 2024 Masters slid compared to last year’s.
When responding to a post on X from Nuclr Golf that reported 9.589 million viewers tuned in Sunday to watch Scottie Scheffler win his second green jacket — “a 20% drop from last year and the lowest-rated Masters since Hideki [Matsuyama’s] win in 2021” — the longtime golf influencer surmised the sport’s climate as of late could be a contributing factor.
“Golf is in an interesting spot right now. People turned off by all the money talk and the industry’s unwillingness to try new things. Some change needs to happen,” Spiranac wrote.
