Sunday of the WM Phoenix Open averaged 2.9 million, up 21% from 2024. The week before, the final round of the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am attracted 3.3 million viewers for Rory McIlroy’s victory, which was the highest-rated non-major until the Genesis.

Ludvig Aberg left Torrey Pines feeling as bad as possible with a stomach bug that caused him to lose 10 pounds. He returned three weeks later as a winner.

Aberg capped a late rally with a 7-foot birdie putt on the 18th for a 6-under 66 and a one-shot victory over Maverick McNealy.
