Ratings: CBS Aces Sunday With PGA Championship

Collin Morikawa won America’s hearts — and the 2020 PGA Championship — on Sunday, when CBS won primetime in Nielsen ratings.

ABC, NBC and Fox aired all reruns last night.

CBS was first in ratings with a 0.8 rating/5 share in the advertiser-coveted 18-49 demographic and in total viewers with an average of 4.6 million, according to preliminary numbers. At 7 p.m., the final round of the 2020 PGA Championship averaged a 0.9/7 and 5.8 million viewers. In the 8 o’clock (eastern) hour, the Morikawa win drew a 1.0/6 and 5.5 million viewers. At 9 p.m., “60 Minutes” had a 0.6/3 and 4.1 million viewers. “Big Brother” at 10 p.m. got a 0.8/5 and 3.1 million viewers.

This weekend’s tournament was only the second major Morikawa ever played in. A brilliant chip-in at the 14th hold and a drive for the ages on 16 sealed his two-shot victory.
