(Reuters) – The final-round Masters showdown between eventual victor Jon Rahm and LIV Golf’s Brooks Koepka was the most-watched golf telecast on any network in five years, CBS said on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

The telecast, during which Rahm came back from a two-shot deficit on Sunday to win his second major and reclaim the world number one ranking, averaged 12.06 million viewers, up 19% compared with Scottie Scheffler’s win at last year’s Masters.<\/p>\n

Ratings for Rahm’s victory peaked at more than 15 million viewers\u00a0from 7:00-7:15 p.m ET (2300-2315 GMT), as Rahm was putting the finishing touches on his four-shot victory over Koepka and Phil Mickelson.<\/p>\n

The Masters has long been one of the most anticipated golf events, but the 2023 edition had added intrigue given it was the first since the start of the Saudi-backed LIV Golf circuit, which drew in a prominent group of players like Koepka and Mickelson.<\/p>\n
