Tiger Woods
He’s still rebuilding his game, but the former world No. 1 golfer attracts legions of viewers when he plays. NBC Sports Group said Monday that the final round of the Valspar Championship earned a 5.11 overnight rating, up 190 percent over the previous year and the highest-rated PGA Tour telecast since Woods won the Players Championship in 2013. That doesn’t include the majors. Woods, returning from a fourth back surgery, was one shot out of the lead going into the final round. He had a 40foot birdie attempt on the 18th hole to force a playoff with Paul Casey and came up short.
