Rain Allows OOH Viewers to Witness Tiger’s 82nd PGA Tour Win

Rain played a big factor in the Zozo Championship as the final round was supposed to be played Sunday afternoon in Japan (late Saturday night/early Sunday morning in the US) and it got pushed to Monday morning (Sunday evening in the US). As a result, many more US OOH viewers were able to tune in to the tournament for the first time. The final round on Golf Channel averaged 268,970 OOH viewers and peaked at 8:28 PM with 390,000 OOH viewers as they witnessed Tiger Woods win his record-tying 82nd PGA Tour event. Further, the event was an unexpected pleasant lead-in for Game 5 of the World Series and for Sunday Night Football as Tiger made his final putt shortly after the baseball and football games started.
