The final round of golf’s 2023 PGA Championship pulled in 4.52 million viewers on CBS, the lowest total since 2008.
Confirmed:
- Final round viewership was down 14 per cent from last year’s PGA Championship
- 2023 tournament attracted a peak audience of 6.67 million
- This year’s final round was the first since 2019 to not reach five million viewers
Context:
Viewership for the PGA Championship’s final round was lower than the National Basketball Association’s (NBA) playoff game staged on the same day. However, the golf major did draw a larger audience than the Stanley Cup conference final on ABC played at a similar timeslot, which managed 1.62 million viewers.
Coming next:
The US Open tees off on 15th June, with broadcaster NBC hoping not to experience a similar decline in viewership.
