Tommy Fleetwood's dramatic Tour Championship breakthrough delivered big television ratings for NBC on Sunday.

The network averaged 4.49 million viewers for the final round -- up 34 percent from 2024, according to the Nielsen numbers.

England's Fleetwood claimed the FedEx Cup trophy and earned $10 million for his first victory on the PGA Tour in 164 starts.

An audience of 3.36 million viewers tuned in to watch Scottie Scheffler capture the 2024 Tour Championship, per Front Office Sports.

All three of the PGA Tour's playoff events saw significant ratings boosts this year for the NBC Sports platform. The final round of the FedEx St. Jude Championship on Aug. 10 was up 71 percent from last year and the final round at the BMW Championship on Aug. 17 was up 43 percent.
