The big audience gains for The Masters did not spill over to last weekend’s PGA Tour event in South Carolina. CBS drew 2.6 million viewers for the final round of the RBC Heritage on Sunday, which saw C.T. Pan win by one stroke over Matt Kuchar. Last year, rain caused the final round to be aired on tape delay, but CBS still drew 2.9 million viewers for that telecast. Sotashi Kodaira defeated Si Woo Kim in a playoff at the Hilton Head event last year.
The chart below lists final audience figures for select recent sports telecasts.
