Doral Ratings Down 24%, Still Weekend's Second Most-Watched

Paulsen at SportsMediaWatch.com notes that while WGC Cadillac at Doral was down from last year and down even more from two years ago (41%), the Sunday telecast still was the weekend's second most watched.

It finished runner-up to the NASCAR telecast and tied with Duke-North Carolina, which was broadcast over a shorter 2-hour window.

The item also includes an interesting graph showing ratings for this WGC event over the last thirteen years.

Final round coverage of the WGC-Cadillac Championship drew a 2.6 overnight rating on NBC Sunday afternoon, down 24% from last year (3.4) and down 41% from Woods’ victory in 2013 (4.4). The 2.6 is the lowest for final round coverage of the tournament since 2011, and the third-lowest since it moved to Doral in 2007.
