Ludvig Aberg-led Genesis Invitational brings relief to PGA as it accumulates 3.4m viewers

Ludvig Aberg secured a thrilling victory at the 2025 Genesis Invitational, boosting the PGA Tour’s viewership amid recent struggles. The tournament, relocated to Torrey Pines, drew 3.4 million viewers for its final round, marking a 5% increase from last year’s event.

Aberg staged a remarkable comeback, overcoming a three-stroke deficit with a six-under 66, finishing at 12-under par. His clutch birdies on four of the last six holes edged out Maverick McNealy by a single stroke, earning Aberg his second PGA Tour victory and captivating audiences.

The event’s ratings surge is a positive sign for the PGA Tour, which has faced declining viewership in recent years. With Aberg now setting his sights on the Arnold Palmer Invitational and the Players Championship, his performance continues to generate excitement among fans and analysts alike.
