2024 Sony Open coverage improves 24% from last year

The 2024 Sony Open was considered as the season-opener tournament for most of the golfers, taking place right after the limited-field Sentry. Grayson Murray clinched the win at the Sony Open after a playoff against Keegan Bradley and Byeong Hun An. Grayson Murray carded a 39-foot birdie on the first hole of the playoff itself to claim his second PGA Tour victory.

The 2024 PGA Tour season had a positive start as the Sony Open recorded higher viewership numbers this year compared to last year. Josh Carpenter of Sports Business Journal reported on X (formerly Twitter):

"PGA Tour viewership from Sunday: 891K viewers for Grayson Murray's win at the Sony Open on NBC, up 24% from 720K last year. Golf Channel coverage earlier in the day: 425K, up 16% from last year (365K)."

The tournament boasted a prize purse of $8.3 million and was played at the Waialae Country Club in Hawaii. Murray and Bradley held the lead for the tournament going into the final round. Hun An caught up with the pair at the end of day 4, forcing a three-way playoff.

It was Grayson Murray who eventually came out on top, denying Keegan Bradley a much-anticipated win. Si Woo Kim, the defending champion of the tournament, finished T42 in the 2024 edition.
