Overview
- NBC averaged 4.4 million viewers for Sunday’s finish, with a peak of 7.1 million around 5:45–6 p.m. ET.
- Year-over-year growth was reported between 15% and 19%, with last year’s weather-affected Monday playoff providing a softer comparison point.
- Saturday’s third round averaged 3.1 million viewers, up 13% from 2025 and part of NBC’s best Players weekend since 2021.
- Cameron Young’s one-shot win over Matt Fitzpatrick after Ludvig Åberg faltered delivered the late drama, even without Scottie Scheffler or Rory McIlroy in contention.
- NBC remains the PGA Tour’s weekend broadcaster for the Valspar, Houston Open, and Valero Texas Open before CBS returns for the Masters.
