PrintTiger Woods captured his first PGA event Sunday in almost nine months after recovering from knee surgery. And it was CBS and the NCAA Elite Eight that took a hit to the ratings kneecap as a result.
Woods dramatic birdie on the last hole sealed the win at the Arnold Palmer Invitational, and it also helped CBS record a double digit ratings drop in its featured Elite Eight contest.
The anticipated showdown between OU's Blake Griffin and UNC's Tyler Hansborough recorded the third-lowest rating for the Sunday featured game in the last decade. The 7.7 rating was down from last year's Kansas-Davidson contest which drew a 9.3.
Tiger Woods dramatic finish at the Arnold Palmer Invitational boosted that tournaments ratings by 23% while helping CBS see a 17% drop in its Elite Eight ratings.
The 7.7 rating for the OU-UNC game was the lowest for the late Sunday timeslot since the 2003 Texas-Michigan State contest drew a 7.3.
Meanwhile, the Woods victory at the Arnold Palmer Invitational was the highest-rated golf program since Woods won the U.S. Open last June, higher than the either the British Open or the PGA.

Can you imagine how good he’d be if his parents were white?

“What background are his parents?”
His dad was Billy Casper’s putter and his mom was everything else in Nicklaus’s bag.

I’m deeply near mortally offended and impossible to overstate outraged.

Looks like shaggy continues to post from the public library down in the armpit of Texas.

Viewers were likely trying to avoid looking at more shots of Griffin’s ugly parents

Tiger is back! I think people might enjoy this list, since Tiger and Arnold Palmer are both on it. I’m not sure if Byron Nelson’s record of 18 single season records will ever be broken.

Ransom, that’s a bunch of…..who am I kidding? You’re probably right. I’m surprised they didn’t go NASCAR and start wearing logos from car dealerships and athletic shoe brands.
That or everyone got tired of watch Tony Crocker’s ugly shots. Or both.

what’s up with crockers lady sleeves on both arms?

@ballrific:
The sleeves were meant to keep “teh stupid” out of his arms and move it safely to where it will do the least damage: his brain.
Clearly, this project failed.

The sleeves were getting it done against Syracuse, I must say.

Scipio, the sleeves weren’t getting it done against ANYONE ELSE.
If you give a Tony Crocker 11 three point attempts per game, eventually he’s going to hit 50% of them in one game. The other side of this coin is going 0-5 against North Carolina.

It’s appropriate time to make a few plans for the long run and it’s time to be happy. I’ve learn this put up and if I may I want to counsel you some attention-grabbing things or suggestions. Perhaps you can write subsequent articles relating to this article. I want to read even more things approximately it!

I do trust all of the ideas you’ve introduced for your post. They’re really convincing and can certainly work. Nonetheless, the posts are too brief for newbies. Could you please extend them a bit from subsequent time? Thanks for the post.
