It's a toss-up what's more obvious: knowing that a "celebs" career is seriously on the downside when their agent's greatest pitch is Celebrity Apprentice or that the PGA and their fans have greatly missed Tiger Woods during his 9-month absence recovering from knee surgery.
Nielsen has recently tabulated the TV ratings difference of Tiger Woods played tournaments from the 2007 season vs the events he missed during 2008 season - the results are staggering. Overall, ratings were down on average 46.8%. In tournaments where Tiger played TV audiences were about 4.56 million on average, last year without Tiger the audiences were 2.43 million on average.
Some of the most incredible ratings losses include losing 78.2% on the Saturday of the PGA Championship and 57.6% of viewers on the Sunday finale.
