Rory McIlroy won the P.G.A. Championship by a record eight strokes at Kiawah Island for his second major title.

On Tuesday afternoon I was reading the Sports Business Daily and stumbled upon this interesting set of data regarding the Nielsen Ratings for Sundays at the PGA Championship over the last 15 years. In 7 of the last 15 years, the Sunday Nielsen rating at the PGA Championship exceeded 6.0.

Woods fires 70 in second round; Furyk, Holmes surge to 2 behind Kuchar
