Warriors G Stephen Curry playing in the Web.com Tour Ellie Mae Classic last week was a subject for the weekly GOLF.com roundtable, and SI's Alan Shipnuck wondered how the PGA Tour's media team did "not have any live coverage" of Curry's performance. A Tour spokesperson said that it "wasn't originally scheduled to be broadcast and that there wasn't enough time to put one together after Curry entered." Shipnuck noted if organizers "weren't going to televise it live, at least send some folks" from Tour HQ to cover the event (GOLF.com, 8/7).
GROWING AUDIENCE: In Detroit, Tony Paul reports NPSL club Detroit City FC's match on Saturday "drew at least 30,000 viewers from its live stream and Facebook Live, while last weekend's two matches ... brought in approximately 50,000 viewers, combined." At the beginning of the season, the lower-level soccer club was "averaging between 5,000 and 10,000 viewers a game." Last year, it was "about 3,000 a game." The game broadcasts have been "available at livestream.com" (DETROIT NEWS, 8/7).
