The PGA Tour has been left reeling after the 2024 BMW Championships saw its TV ratings take a massive hit from last year, just like Rory McIlroy predicted would happen

This represents a stark decline of over 20% from the previous year when the event, featuring a comparable lineup and held at the same time, managed to pull in 3.034 million viewers. "I just think with the fighting and everything that's gone on over the past couple of years, people are just getting fatigued, and it's turning people off men's professional golf, and that's not a good thing for anyone."
