21 year old Jordan Spieth won the Masters this past weekend to earn his first major championship. In the process, he left golf staples such at Tiger Woods, Rory Mcllroy, and Phil Mickelson in his dust on Sunday, winning by four shots. It was a changing of the guard you could say.

One thing that stayed constant though, were the high viewership numbers for the West Palm Beach market. West Palm Beach, traditionally a strong marking for golf television viewership, ranked fifth nationally.

Overall, CBS saw some of its best viewership numbers for the Masters in several years. Saturday's viewership was up 48% over last year, while Sunday saw a 23% increase over 2014, when Bubba Watson cruised to an easy win on the back nine over Spieth.

This year's Masters ratings were the highest for all four days since the 2011 Masters won by Charl Schwartzel. That was the Masters that produced the famous picture of Rory Mcllroy hitting his second shot on the 10th hole by Butler Cabin. Going into that hole with a one shot lead, he would triple bogey the hole and go on to lose the tournament.
