According to CBS, an average of 13.15 million golf enthusiasts caught this year's tournament, in which relative unknown Trevor Immelman kept Tiger Woods at bay.

That's down from 14.9 million viewers last year, but better than 12.4 million in 2006.

The last time Woods won the tournament, average viewership was 14.6 million.

About 16 million watched the final 30 minutes Sunday at 7 p.m., when Immelman received the green jacket in Augusta.
