The lack of drama has made the Championship 2025 finals have a low rate of television viewers.
PGA Championship is completely opposite to The Masters a few weeks ago. If viewers cannot take their eyes off the attractive race at Augusta National between Rory Mcilroy and Bryson Dechambeau and Justin Rose (final stage), at Quail Hollow over the weekend, the drama did not happen as expected.
Although Jon Rahm has a breakthrough that can be called dramatic, Scottie Scheffler easily won his familiar calm way. Bryson Dechambeau also sought to participate in the race, but it was difficult to find a breakthrough, although there was a position in the top 5 in this Major.
Honestly, with only two of the top ten golfers in the world golf rankings ending in the top 25 in Quail Hollow, it is not surprising that the transcript does not bring the necessary attraction for a true Major final.
It is impossible not to praise Scottie Scheffler for his excellence against the weak efforts from other golfers, but when he easily overcome them in the second half of the round, the viewers are not interested in the TV screen.
According to CBS data, the final round of the 2025 PGA Championship has attracted an average of 4,763 million viewers, down 4% compared to 4,958 million viewers in the victory of Xander Schauffele in 2024. However, this number increased by 5% compared to 4,517 million viewers two years ago.
Compared to the previous tournaments, Justin Thomas’s victory in 2022 had 5,273 million viewers, while in 2021, 6.583 million people watched the victory of Phil Mickelson and the championship of Collin Morikawa had 5,150 million in 2020.
