PNC Championship records MORE VIEWERS than The Open Championship
NBC recorded 2.3 million viewers during the PNC Championship, 200,000 more than they got during The Open Championship.
NBC, the prestigious American broadcasting company, recorded more viewers for the PNC Championship than it did for The Open Championship.
As reported by Kyle Porter of CBS Sports, NBC received 2.3 million viewers during the fun family event on the PGA Tour whereas they only received 2.1 million viewers for The Open.
This was the average viewership across the entire tournament for both events. There simply has never been so many eyes on the PNC Championship in its 36-year history.
It is important to note that as NBC is an American company based in New York, it is easier to watch the PNC Championship over The Open Championship when you consider the time difference.
