This Week In Golf Channel Ratings: 175,000 Average Viewers
/Son Of The Bronx posts the Golf Channel ratings for the week of September 16-22, which means the Monday finish of the BMW Championship helped make up for lackluster numbers for the Tour Championship later in the week.
Still, the network averaged 175,000 viewers compard to 97,000 the previous week.
The top 10 was led by the BMW spillover coverage on Monday, followed by Thursday and Friday of the Tour Championship. Nice to see so few people find the ResetCup interesting and the format so un-playoff-like, not that this would prompt the tour to admit the thing isn't finding an audience.
