Marvel Stadium’s Post

The Match, TGL, The Creator Classic and now this competition between arguably the four greatest players in the world. Golf has historically been viewed as stuffy, gatekeeping, older audience sport. Between these new competitions, the rise of golf lifestyle brands and the evolution of golf clothing, one could argue #golf is actually the most innovative sport going today. And with near limitless brand integration opportunities. #sponsorship #sportsmarketing

A brilliant piece from The Straight this week—proving once again that even during quieter times, they deliver. 👏 Racing is no stranger to challenges. From political pressures and anti-racing movements to the rising cost of living, the industry has done a solid job of defending itself against external criticism. But where it truly falls short—and it's not alone here—is audience growth. This isn’t just racing’s challenge; it’s a universal issue across sports. Social media, when utilised effectively, is a game changer. Racing has an opportunity to better leverage these platforms, meeting its audience where they already are. Every potential fan is online; it’s just a matter of reaching and engaging them. It’s tough, but with consistency and creativity, the rewards are a completely new market share. It’s time for racing to lean into this space with purpose and perseverance.

A decline in golf viewership for the Masters is no surprise⛳️📉 Statistics reveal a nuanced picture: The 2023 Masters peaked at approximately 15 million viewers compared to the recent 9.589 million in 2024... The absence of a merger between LIV Golf and the PGA TOUR continues to cast a shadow over the sport's landscape. Some interesting figures: — The final round of the PGA Tour’s Phoenix Open drew just 2.38 million viewers, a stunning 35% plunge from the previous year — The Arnold Palmer Invitational at Bay Hill was watched by 2.29 million on its closing day, a 30% dip from 2023 and the tournament’s worst fourth-round number in seven years. Simply, the fact that the best players in the world are not convening very often is not helping the PGA Tour or LIV Golf. The implications are clear: without a unified front, golf risks losing its grip on both existing and potential audiences. The sport's future hinges on its ability to adapt, innovate, and ultimately, bring fans together under one banner. Let me know your thoughts on the state of play. Did you watch the final round? 🏌♂️⛳️ #Golf #Viewership #LIVGolf #PGATour #SportsIndustry

Virtual golf league? 🏌️♂️ 2025 is the year of reimagining—whether it’s hospitality, sports, entertainment, or beyond, the playbook is being rewritten. As a huge sports fan (some of you already know this), I had to check out the launch of the new golf league, TGL, last week. Honestly? I really enjoyed it. Way more engaging than the traditional golf tournaments that usually double as my nap time background noise. 😴 What about you? Has anyone else watched TGL yet?
