Sunday viewership: 6 million

the audience for Woods's win at Augusta (14.63 million) was golf's largest since his victory there in 2001 (19.16 million). But the low viewership for his win at St. Andrews (above) was harder to figure. Not only did this year's British furnish Tiger's lowest number during a major win, it was also only slightly higher than the audience for Todd Hamilton's victory in 2004 (5.99 million).

In the six years since its inception the Tampa-based tournament has produced two of the Tour's three smallest Sunday audiences. Football is one thing, but this year the Chrysler couldn't even outdraw pro bullriding on NBC.
