Schwab Challenge Tourney Director Predicts Huge TV Ratings For Colonial Return
/Art Stricklin reports this bold prediction for ratings this week.
Fifteen of the top 20 players in the world are in the field, including all of the top five. Earlier in the week, Colonial tournament director Michael Tothe said he expects huge TV ratings.
“It’s won’t be the best ever [in golf], because we don’t have Tiger in the field and he drives everything, but I think we’ll do a 6.0 or higher,” Tothe said, referring to the Nielson [sp] ratings. “If we had Tiger we could do a 10.”
In the last decade, Colonial has never drawn better than a 2.0 rating.
6’s and 10’s would put the event in very elite ratings company.
