The 8 Most Popular Sports In The World

Golf is an incredibly global sport, with players spanning the world and multiple tournaments, such as the Presidents Cup, that pit nations and regions against each other in competition. There are over 450 million fans of the sport, and the only thing standing in its way from continued growth is a potential lack of star power. Like him or not, Tiger Woods draws ratings, and makes the sport more relevant when he’s on top of his game. It looks like Rory McIlroy may take the torch and continue to draw ratings, but so far he’s been inconsistent in between Major victories.
