PGA tournament TV ratings DOWN 51% even with Tiger Woods

Used to be that TV rat ings suffered when Tiger Woods did not play in a golf tournament. Now, things are so bad for the onetime superstar golfer that ratings go down when he does play. After Woods played the worst golf of his career, ratings for the final round of the Bridgestone Invitational were down 51 percent over last year, when Woods won the event. But more telling, the ratings were down 34 percent from 2008 — when Woods did not even play in the tournament. — NY Post
