2025 WM Phoenix Open TV ratings soar with 500,000 more viewers than the previous edition

The WM Phoenix Open is a popular event on the PGA Tour. It's one of the more unique tournaments as the fans play a huge role in how things turn out. That makes it a unique on-site experience, but it's also one that a lot of viewers watch at home.

That was more true in 2025 than in 2024. The 2024 edition, which saw Nick Taylor defeat Charley Hoffman in a playoff, had about 2.4 million viewers. This year, after Thomas Detry dominated the field, the viewer count was up to 2.9 million, as per the stats shared by golf insider Josh Carpenter.

The interesting aspect of all of this is, that due to the WM Phoenix Open being on the West Coast, the tournament went into the Super Bowl, the most-watched broadcast of the year. Despite the clear conflict, the PGA Tour did quite well.

However, it still wasn't a ratings turnout that got the Tour back to its peak. In 2023, 3.7 million tuned in to watch the final round of Scottie Scheffler's second straight win at the event. In 2022, Scheffler's first of those two wins drew 3.6 million.

In 2021, Brooks Koepka's victory in Phoenix attracted 3.7 million viewers, so the Phoenix Open isn't quite back to its prime, but Sunday's finale was a step forward.
