Rory McIlroy's long eagle putt drops on the seventh, and there is more putting to come: three consecutive birdies take him to the turn. Golf Channel's third-round Abu Dhabi highlights offer a fresh chapter after the earlier penalty that featured here, with the emphasis back on shots rather than rulings.
Jon Rahm supplies another long eagle putt on the eleventh, while Tommy Fleetwood negotiates a tricky left-to-right birdie and Tyrrell Hatton gets his round moving with a long putt of his own. The package was the most-watched of Golf Channel's fifteen new uploads, reaching roughly 14,000 views, and it is also the channel's busiest video right now.
The week's other substantial conversation happened away from the greens. In "How LIV and The PGA Tour Almost Merged | Golf Channel", Eamon Lynch speaks with Jay Monahan about the June 2023 framework agreement for the premiere of Eamon Lynch Has Questions. Alongside it, individual-shot clips give Eugenio Chacarra's spinning approach and Donohue's flagstick-hitting chip their own space.
Golf Channel added about 815,000 views over the week, with subscribers unchanged. Its daily viewing is currently above its usual level. Among nearby golf channels, H.I.T GOLF had a larger weekly audience, while GOLF LIFE had a quieter week for views.
Abu Dhabi isn't carrying the schedule alone: the Toto Japan Classic third-round highlights are the channel's next-busiest upload by daily views, followed by the WWT Championship's second round at El Cardonal.
