The boys from Tin Cup Club stop in to discuss Youtube is playing a crucial role in reshaping the financial landscape of golf and providing new opportunities for revenue generation and audience engagement.
Did you know the average age of viewers for the PGA Tour is around 64 years old? I did not before doing my research. LIV Golf is doing a better job attracting viewers 18-34. 71% of people aged 18-34 have shown interest in watching LIV Golf Events. This is in large part because of their willingness to embrace YouTube and Social Media platforms.
