Well, Tiger Woods didn’t walk away with a win from the 2009 PGA Championship (that honor went to Y.E. Yang), but it was a record-setting weekend for PGA.com and Turner Sports, which served up 3.4 million video streams over the course of the 4-day event.

According to the press announcement:

  • PGA.com Had 1.4 million average daily unique visitors, up 94 percent over 2008
  • The Turner Sports online golf portfolio (including PGA.com, Yahoo and picture-in-picture streams) served up a total of 3.4 million video streams, including a record 2.4 million live player streams (up 204 percent over last year)
  • Friday, Aug. 14, the second day of the tournament, had 1.7 million unique users, and 1.3 million live player and on-demand video streams.

    • Too bad Tiger Woods didn’t fart on camera this time around — the numbers would have been even bigger.
