"MOST WATCHED DAY ONE IN PRESIDENTS CUP*HISTORY" - GeoffShackelford.com, With GolfDigest.com -
ORLANDO, Fla. (Nov. 18, 2011) – Golf Channel’s Day One coverage of The Presidents Cup from Melbourne, Australia, is the most-watched day one in the event’s history, drawing nearly 1.3 million average viewers.
The household rating for the telecast (1.2 / 1,268,000) was up 88 percent from the last comparable round when the biennial event was played overseas (South Africa, 2003) and five percent higher than the previous best day one of the event, played in San Francisco in 2009. This record rating is especially significant given the 16 hour time difference between Melbourne and the East Coast of the United States.
The rating peaked at 1.5 when Tiger Woods teed off against a pairing featuring Adam Scott, who currently employs Woods’ former caddie, Steve Williams.

ORLANDO, Fla. (Nov. 20, 2011)– Golf Channel’s coverage of The Presidents Cup broke another record, with Day Two viewership topping Day One – the previous best day – to become the most-watched day on cable in the history of the biennial tournament, according to preliminary national ratings released today by Nielsen. This milestone is especially significant given the 16-hour time difference between the U.S. Eastern time zone and Australia.
Golf Channel's Day One and Day Two coverage from Melbourne both surpass all previous days on cable TV in the history of the event, which includes four days on ESPN, eight days on TNT and two days on Golf Channel.
Data showed average viewers for Day Two coverage was 1,508,000. Average viewers for Day One and Day Two combined was up 123 percent from comparable days when the event was last played overseas (South Africa, 2003). Viewership for Day Three and the Final Day of The Presidents Cup will be available when national ratings are released by Nielsen.
The Presidents Cup Day Two coverage anchored Golf Channel’s Thursday primetime schedule, which replaced Wednesday as the most-watched and highest-rated night in primetime ever on the network.
