Club pro Michael Block dominated the storylines at the 2023 PGAChamp, while Brooks Koepka took home the Wanamaker Trophy. Not a bad little Sunday. But did golf fans tune in? No. Bill_Shea19 explains.
NBC’s live coverage of the 107th Indianapolis 500 begins at 11 a.m. Sunday while the race itself is expected to start at 12:45 p.m. Peacock coverage begins at 9 a.m. and Universo’s Spanish-language coverage begins at 11 a.m. All coverage is expected to run through 4 p.m. Last year’s race, won by Marcus Ericsson, averaged 4.8 million viewers, making it the second least-watched Indy 500 after only the 2020 race which was run months late because of the pandemic.
Sunday is also the 64th running of NASCAR’s Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway. It airs at 6 p.m. on Fox, meaning it doesn’t overlap with the IndyCar race. A year ago, the race averaged 3.87 million viewers, the smallest audience since it began airing on the network in 2001, per Sports Media Watch. That was, in part, because it faced the Celtics winning Game 7 of the NBA’s Eastern Conference finals on ESPN.
On the men’s side, the college baseball World Series finals begin at 7 p.m. June 24 with Game 2 the following day at 3 p.m., and Game 3, if needed, would be 7 p.m. June 26 — all on ESPN. Ole Miss’ two-game championship series win last year averaged 1.6 million viewers on ESPN.The French Open begins May 28 at Stade Roland-Garros in Paris — and without Spanish superstar Rafael Nadal, the 14-time winner and defending champion who is out with a hip injury.
