Hideki Matsuyama’s win at the 2021 Masters was not accompanied by massive viewership. Golf’s most prestigious event registered some of the lowest ratings in its history.
With an average 5.5 rating and 9.45 million viewers, Sunday’s round of the Masters was the second-lowest rated fourth round at Augusta since 1957, according to Sports Media Watch. Only the final round of the 2020 Masters had worse viewership, though the major was pushed from April to November due to the pandemic.
Ratings for Sunday’s round increased by 62% compared to last year’s Masters.
