Tiger Woods scores for CBS.

The numbers are in, and Tiger Woods wasn’t the only winner at The Masters. CBS Sports’ final-round coverage, which aired live Sunday morning due to weather-adjusted tee times (9:00 AM-3:00 PM, ET) and its encore presentation of the final-round (3:00-7:00 PM, ET), dominated the day’s sports landscape as the top two rated sports broadcasts of the day. Live coverage of the Masters final round delivered a 7.7/21 average household rating/share in the metered markets, the highest-rated morning golf broadcast in 34 years. The final round also ranks as the highest-rated golf broadcast on any network since last year’s Masters final round. The final-round peaked with a 12.1/28 rating/share from 2:15-2:30 PM, ET, while the encore presentation of the final round earned a 3.4/8 rating/share, the third-highest rated golf broadcast-to-date on any network this year behind only the live third-round and final-round of the Masters.
