Scottie Scheffler News Emerges on Tuesday After Memorial Win originally appeared on Athlon Sports.
Scottie Scheffler is on an absolute tear this season, and his latest win at the Memorial Tournament only adds to his dominant run. The 27-year-old World No. 1 clinched his third PGA Tour title of the season with a 10-under-par 278 finish, topping runner-up Ben Griffin by four strokes. His steady play and clutch performances have fans glued to their screens and the numbers prove it.
CBS drew 3.063 million viewers for Sunday’s final round, marking a 7% jump from last year’s 2.855 million. That viewership surge is even more impressive compared to 2022’s 2.319 million for Billy Horschel’s win.
Scheffler’s final-round performance nearly matched the 2023 spike (3.115M) when Viktor Hovland pulled off a playoff victory. Weekend viewership averaged 2.782 million on CBS, a 14% year-over-year rise, with Saturday’s third round pulling in 2.04 million viewers up 15% from 2023.
With wins at The CJ CUP Byron Nelson, the PGA Championship, and now the Memorial, May turned out to be quite the month for Scheffler. According to the Daily Mail, he raked in an incredible $9.63 million in that span. And he wasn’t the only one cashing in his caddie Ted Scott reportedly earned $963,000, more than many players on the PGA Tour’s top 10 money list.
