Tiger Woods’ three-shot victory in the Buick Open has given the PGA Tour event a 167 percent ratings boost over last year, when Woods was recovering from knee surgery and did not play.
Overnight rating was 4.0 with a 9 share, up from a 1.5 rating and a 3 share in 2008.
It was the highest final-round rating for the Buick Open since it received a 4.3 with a 10 share in 2006, which Woods also won.
CBS also saw overnight ratings increase 100 percent from the previous year when Woods won the Memorial and 200 percent when he won the AT&T National. He missed both tournaments last year because of surgery.
On the flip side of that was the LPGA. The ratings continued the downward spiral of network ladies golf ratings for the year. The overnights saw them lower than 1 and finishing behind every other network sport in their time slot.
The British, in the overnights, was the lowest of the network televised LPGA major events of the year. It did however see a couple of quarter hours that showed sparks.
Looking forward to seeing the final numbers, because sometimes these overnights are off.
