@SchefflerLegion This is not necessarily the rule. I remember when ESPN left the US Open tennis final with Nadal to do Monday night football pregame show. The networks decide what is worth the squeeze. In this instance, a final round with Scottie was worth staying for.
@bmmckain@jalkhal1984@awfulannouncing Yes. NBC averages more than 3 million for a non-major golf tournament. Scottie Scheffler is more famous than 99.9 percent of baseball players
@Cwebb3455@nbc Because Scottie Scheffler is more famous than 99.9 percent of baseball players and NBC paid a gazillion dollars for PGA Tour rights. Any more questions?
@MikeEx80@NBCSportsPR Weekend coverage for PGA Tour non-major events consistently average more than 3 million viewers. NBC has Scottie in the hunt. They ain't leaving the Travelers
@tanyahollenbeck@nbc@peacock@MLB@Yankees How long have you been watching sports? There are always rain delays and decisions have to be made. Sometimes your sport gets screwed.
@sportsnamed@tanyahollenbeck@nbc@peacock@MLB@Yankees The executives at NBC say we watch golf. I think they know the math and it was a tough call. But the Travelers is now an elite event and a lot of people like Scottie
@SystemizedChaos I agree. Money talks and this time the advertisement dollars favor golf. By the way, Scottie Scheffler is more famous than 99.9 percent t of all MLB players.
