    Tiger Woods and Peyton Manning took home bragging rights from Sunday’s “The Match: Champions for Charity” against Phil Mickelson and Tom Brady, but the foursome delivered a hole in one for tournament organizers and Turner. 

    With 5.8 million average viewers across TNT, TBS, truTV and HLN, the program became the most-watched golf event ever on cable TV.

    Other Notable Numbers:

    • 38 Million video views on Bleacher Report digital and social platforms
    • 5 million social engagements and 172 million impressions for content leading up to and during the event
    • No. 1 trending topic on Twitter
    • More than $20 million raised for charity

    This field is for validation purposes and should be left unchanged.
