Sepp Straka, down by five shots entering Sunday's final round of the Honda Classic, tapped in for birdie in the rain on the final hole and ended up beating Shane Lowry by one shot to become the first Austrian winner in PGA Tour history.
The 2022 Genesis Invitational featuring all ten of the world top ten drew a final round 1.57/2.6 million average viewership on CBS, down significantly from 2021’s 2.24/3.6 million average when Max Homa beat Tony Finau in a playoff in front of no crowd due to COVID restrictions.
The ‘21 Genesis was competing against a Daytona road race. This year though, the 500 syphoned a lot of casual sports fans despite the return of crowds and some stunning visuals from Riviera. The Daytona 500 was Sunday’s most-watched television program of the entire day, drawing an 8.8 million viewer average and 4.4 rating.
Saturday’s Genesis numbers were well up thanks to 2021’s wind-delay.
