This Week In Golf Channel Ratings: Christmas Day Is Huge!?
/Four Christmas Day airings of the World Long Drive Championship netted 461,000 total viewers, giving Golf Channel surprisingly good numbers for a week of re-runs.
Even more bizarre: 118,000 viewers on average for a Saturday, December 28th prime time re-run of the BMW Championship, landing fourth for the week behind the World Long Drive airings whose numbers were easily explained by the need for families to take a break from one another. And what could be more soothing than watching grown men bash a ball?
As always Son of the Bronx posts the numbers.

Read MoreThis Week In Golf Channel Ratings: Thanksgiving Is For Golf Films!
/Son of the Bronx makes his usual great contribution to charitable causes (like this blog) and to Tylenol sales in greater Ponte Vedra Beach, posting Golf Channel's ratings from November 24-December 1st 2013. 
And in another reminder for PGA Tour players who get chippy with courtesy car drivers all because they labor under the delusion that what they do is important and watched by millions, look no further than another week of steady Big Break ratings and even some healthy numbers for re-runs of October's World Long Drive Championship.
More eye-opening is the second place finish by a movie re-run on Thanksgiving morning when people were clearly so desperate to avoid talking to family that they watched a golf-themed film (.1, 156,000). The film drew a bigger number than all but one round of the PGA Tour's "wraparound" events this fall.
The Wednesday-Saturday night airings of the Australian Open (listed as "Misc. Tournament") also did well, with Saturday's finale drawing 122,000 viewers for the live final round telecast, with more via the subsequent re-airing. And all a smidgen of the rights fees Golf Channel pays for lesser performing PGA Tour events!
