  • Overnight Nielsen Ratings: CBS' PGA Tour Wells Fargo Championship Final Round Down 29%

    The Kentucky Derby on NBC and NBA Playoff telecasts on ABC led all weekend overnight Nielsen ratings. CBS' final round of the PGA Tour Wells Fargo Championship yesterday earned a 2.0 overnight for Lucas Glover's victory. That figure is down 28.6% from Rory McIlroy's victory last year. Tiger Woods did not play the event this year and missed the cut in '10. Fox also saw a decline for its NASCAR Sprint Cup telecast from Darlington on Saturday night. The 3.5 overnight was down 10.3% from last year's Darlington race. Listed below are overnight Nielsen ratings from broadcast TV sports programs over the weekend (Austin Karp, THE DAILY).
