For fun, (and because I have some strange, pathological dislike of golf; enter the words ‘alanah hates golf’ into Google.com and I’m the #1 search result…) I ran a search online using Google Trends to see what’s more popular these days in the online world: the PGA or the NHL?
It’s the NHL.
In the last 30 days, everywhere in the world (with the exception of one-24 hour period in the United States last month) more people searched out NHL info than PGA.
Maybe not 100% accurate, or even a fair comparison given the time of year. But what the hell… it’s Google. They know their search terms and I like graphs.
So in honor of Tiger, another way of comparing the sports (*click the images to for further details):
In the United States

In Canada

Worldwide

About Canucks and Beyond
Alanah McGinley has been blogging hockey since 2003 (with a notable gap in time through 2010, kicking it with new baby Lucy while living knee-deep in chaos while reading "parenting for complete idiots" during every spare minute) sharing opinions, rants and not-so-deep thoughts with anyone who will listen.
In addition to writing Canucks & Beyond and helping manage Kukla's Korner, Alanah was one of the founders and co-hosts of The Crazy Canucks Podcast. She has contributed pieces to FoxSports.com and the New York Times Slapshot blog, as well as other stray destinations in cyberspace.
So that's me. Who the hell are you? ![]()
