The final day of the tournament at Augusta
National averaged 9.45 million viewers and a 5.5 household
rating, according to Nielsen live-plus-same-day ratings. That
was the highest TV audience for a golf tournament since 2019,
when Tiger Woods captured his fifth Masters title.
The results proved to be much better than last November, when a
late-autumn Masters netted an average final-day audience of 5.59
million viewers and a household rating of 3.4. However, the 2021
ratings were the lowest for a regularly scheduled Masters
tourney in the modern Nielsen ratings era.
Hideki Matsuyama held on for a 1-stroke win at the Masters,
becoming the first golfer from Japan to win the event.
