NBC drew 1.8 million viewers for the final round of the Hero World Challenge last Sunday, which featured Tiger Woods' return to competitive golf for the first time since February. Rickie Fowler won the event. That figure is up from 1.4 million viewers for the final round last year, which saw the return of Woods to competitive golf for the first time since August ’15. The '15 event drew 835,000 viewers for Bubba Watson’s win, while '14 drew 1.0 million viewers for Jordan Spieth’s win, when Woods did not play.
