CBS drew a 2.7 overnight rating for the final round of the PGA Tour Waste Management Phoenix Open yesterday afternoon, which went to a playoff between Chez Reavie and Gary Woodland. That figure is up from a 2.2 last year, when Hideki Matsuyama won in a playoff against Webb Simpson. Yesterday's telecast went right up to kickoff for Super Bowl LII on NBC. Two years ago, NBC drew a 2.3 for the final round when Matsuyama beat Rickie Fowler in a four-hole playoff.
HONOR ROLL: NBC drew a 2.4 overnight for the NFL Honors telecast on Saturday night, up from a 2.2 last year on Fox. However, CBS drew a 3.3 overnight for the telecast in '16.
