Should low ratings for Masters, U.S. Open prove worrisome?

While most components of the golf world have enjoyed a renaissance through the pandemic — tee sheets are booked, club manufacturers can’t keep shelves stocked, coaches are in high demand — there is one bit of mildly disturbing news when it comes to the TV ratings for 2020’s three majors.

The PGA Championship in August saw fairly flat overall numbers and both the U.S. Open and Masters saw dramatic drops in 2020 when it came to TV ratings.

Fluke? Coincidence? Or a worrisome trend?

It’s tough to say for certain, but here are a number of factors that might have contributed to the ratings flop:

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — In a giant leap for graduate education at Purdue University, the Indiana Commission for Higher Education has approved the Master of Science in Graduate Studies (major in interdisciplinary studies) degree. It is the first degree ever to be conferred through the Graduate School on the West Lafayette campus.

The degree, a framework for custom, novel majors that span two or more schools or departments, was driven by students, faculty and companies that want more options to combine skills, create new majors, and customize credentials.

“Education is changing, and students want a powerful learning experience where they can draw from many different disciplines,” said Linda Mason, dean of the Graduate School. “With the new MS in Graduate Studies, students will be able to integrate several academic disciplines to become interdisciplinary thinkers and creative problem solvers in emerging fields.”
