Quail Hollow '15: CBS Draws A 2.4 Final Round Rating

No, a 2.4 rating doesn't sound so great in the world of Nielsen, but the 2015 Wells Fargo Championship went up against Game 7 of the Clippers-Spurs on ABC and featured a Rory McIlroy runaway.

Let's face it, other than getting our first national TV look at the emerging Patrick Rodgers, there was no reason to watch and yet as Paulsen notes, the 2.4 is the event's highest rating since 2010 but also is down from the event's early years. Then again...

The numbers look less impressive if one goes further back. The 2.4 is tied as only the seventh-highest overnight for the tournament since it began in 2003 (12 telecasts).

Overnights have now increased for seven of the past ten final round PGA Tour telecasts (including The Masters and WGC Match Play). With that said, Sunday’s 2.4 is just the ninth-highest final round overnight of the season (16 telecasts).
