Golf isn't a mainstream sport. The only reason broadcast even cares about it is its a small audience that's very, very lucrative to target advertising at, since they're willing to throw lots of money away at random luxury goods. So viewing numbers are pretty much always going to be terrible for it; most people don't care, and if anything despise the sport.

I'll watch an occasional majors final day and the Ryder cup and that's about it. Hating a pretty tame relaxing sport is kinda funny. It's not like it's hard to ignore if it's not for you

As a kid, its very bored dudes looking at fields all day and slowly shuffling around when I'd rather they were showing anything else. It didn't help that "Sunday after cartoons" was prime Golf time.
