Spring Ratings: 2019 Heritage Down, Zurich Final Round Draws A 1.1

Paulsen at Sports Media Watch has this full report on last week’s Heritage Classic ratings, down 16% and 12% over 2018 but up over 2017. He also includes Golf Channel lead-in numbers which were pretty impressive given the erosion of cable numbers in most other sports.

And the SBD overnights from the Zurich Classic put the ratings at a 1.1. for Sunday’s final round, a .9 for Saturday play. Not thrilling but not awful either.

At least the golf outdrew rounds 4-7 of the NFL draft in prime time on ABC. Why anyone beyond family and friends are watching that is beyond me.
