Tiger is back, and TV executives couldn’t be happier.

The final round of the Tour Championship -- in which Tiger Woods won his first tournament in more than five years, capping one of the greatest comebacks in sports -- drew a 5.2 rating, according to NBC. That’s more than triple the audience from last year. Final numbers will be available later on Monday.
