Simply filling your curiosity cannot satisfy your fans' needs.
The third week of TGL, a new technology-screen golf league, will be on the test stage to predict its success. The first and second weeks of TGL games drew attention with interest in a unique league, but from now on, a drama that will attract fans' attention should unfold.
Tiger Woods (USA) and Rory McIlroy (Northern Ireland), who founded the TGL, said, "We are waiting for real competition to go to individual competitions," hoping that the thrilling fun of deciding the final few holes will come out of this week's third match.
However, it is hard to expect a tight race this week as well. Atlanta Drive GC, which is comprised of world No. 10 Patrick Cantlay, world No. 14 Justin Thomas and world No. 18 Billy Horschel (U.S.), will take on Cameron Young (U.S.), world No. 47 Matt Fitzpatrick (England), and New York GC (U.S.). World rankings are not everything, but it is true that TGL is leaning to one side objectively as it is engaged in both team and individual competitions.
The first and second weeks ended unilaterally. In the opening match, the New York GC led by Xander Schauffley of the U.S., the world's second-ranked Xander Schauffley of the U.S., lost to Wyndham Clark of the Bay GC, 2-9, and in the second week, the Tiger Woods' Jupiter GC fell to the Los Angeles GC led by Colin Morikawa of the U.S., 1-2. With five holes remaining out of a total of 15 holes in both games, the team decided to play poorly.
Until now, interest in TGL has been high. It had 919,000 viewers on average for two weeks, reaching a record high of 1.1 million in the first week and 1.13 million in the second week. Fans were curious about the new league at the opening match, and fans were interested in Tiger Woods' debut match in the second week.
McIlroy responded by saying, "This format is a very different format than before. I know it's not for everyone. If you're a traditional golf fan, you might not feel very interested, but that's not the audience we're aiming for." The hope is that everything in the two-hour game, including conversations between players, great plays, unprofessional mistakes, unexpected episodes, and dramatic competitions, will attract fans on the entertainment level. 스포츠토토
For example, a bunker shot shank mistake made by Kevin Kisner of Tiger Woods during the second week of the game would have been disappointing if it was an authentic competition, but it has become a big fun factor in TGL. Woods momentarily shrank due to his colleague's unexpected mistake and burst into laughter for a few minutes barely holding back tears. In the ensuing play by Kisner, a chip shot from a distance of 18 meters stopped right next to him, drawing cheers from fans.
However, we cannot ignore the criticism that there is a limit to expanding fandom in this way. After all, analysts say that more dramas should satisfy fans in terms of performance and competition.
