Incontrovertible Proof: Why Tin Cup Runs Constantly!

If you've caught my Forward Press column at GolfDigest.com previewing the week ahead, you know that opportunities to watch Tin Cup have been...ample?

Including a twin bill showing this week of a movie that certainly has moments, but also nowl looks a tad dated.

And now we have evidence why Golf Channel airs Tin Cup at every opportunity, and it's not to fatten the coffers of Cheech Marin or Gary McCord.

SportsTVRatings.com, while it lasts, has posted the Tuesday ratings showing Tin Cup out rating the Fox Sports 1 pregame show of a World Series game (that ended up drawing a huge rating). It was a slim margin, but Tin Cup averaged 113,000 viewers to FS1's pregame at 112,000 average over just 30 minutes. Still, now you know why they rack up that Tin Cup tape.
