The U.S. Open’s final round on Sunday drew an average of 5.5 million viewers for NBC.

The final-round audience increased by 2% from the 5.4 million viewers who tuned in to last year’s U.S. Open final round at Oakmont Country Club.

Wyndham Clark won last week’s tournament at Shinnecock Hills Golf Club at Southampton, N.Y., for his second U.S. Open title in four years.

Sunday’s audience peaked at 9.3 million viewers, while third-round viewership on Saturday averaged 3.7 million viewers, up 3% from last year.

The tournament was the second-most-watched East Coast-based U.S. Open since 2013, trailing the 2024 event’s 5.9 million viewers who tuned in to see Bryson DeChambeau best Rory McIlroy at Pinehurst No. 2 in North Carolina.

The 2023 tournament, played at Los Angeles Country Club, averaged 6.2 million final-round viewers.

NBC’s Peacock simulcast of its coverage was the most-streamed golf event in NBC Sports history, up 13% overall compared to the 2025 U.S. Open.

But for the first time since 2021, the U.S. Open audience on Sunday was smaller than the PGA Championship’s TV audience and finished last among final rounds of the three majors played thus far this year.

The Masters averaged 13.99 million viewers on CBS; the PGA Championship, also on CBS, lured an average of 5.76 million.
