Tiger Woods whipped Phil Mickelson in yet another way on Sunday.
Woods’ victory at the PGA Championship helped the TV ratings increase 22 percent from last year.
CBS’ final-round coverage Sunday drew an average overnight household rating of 7.2 with a 16 share. That’s up from last year’s 5.9 rating with a 13 share for Phil Mickelson’s victory. This year’s rating was the highest for the final round since 2002, when Rich Beem’s one-shot victory over Woods earned an 8.0 with a 17 share.
The rating is the percentage of all homes with TVs, whether or not they are in use. The share is the percentage of in-use televisions tuned to a given show.
