This is such a false statement, it's mind boggling.
Top viewed video on his channel, has over 5 million views, no PGA tour players. These creators have been pulling in 1-3 million views on videos long before any pros were involved. And do you know why the pros end up on the channel? Because Taylor Made/Callaway/Titleist see the value in the creators and THEY want the exposure. Grant Horvat didnt need Scottie to get a 3+ mill viewership, and surely Scottie didnt need to do it, but TM sponsors them both and THEY wanted the exposure
Youtube golf is outperforming PGA tour for views weekly and its not even close. The beauty of it, unlike LIV, is that they coexist and arent in competition with one another. Rising tides raise all ships. Youtube isnt taking away viewers from the PGA tour but they are introducing a ton of eyes to the game and in effect assist the growth of the popularity of the PGA tour
