A big ask for a younger demo to sit thru hours of programming when most sports have a start/end pretty well defined. Tigers era the exception. I dont think Saudi money is gonna move the needle any more than it does now if it entered the LPGA equation. It will survive either way and I for one will still check in

Football rule changes are quickly moving the sport to flag football, baseball is boring, basketball is best in the last 5 minutes and while hockey is great in person it doesn't play well on television. My (and more and more of my friends) watch the Super bowl and World Series. Golf is the majors for both men and women. All the other games in all sports are reasons for parties and excuses to get out of the house. My opinion.
