Nick Dunlap's historic win at the AmEx PGA Tour event on Sunday attracted 534,000 viewers on Golf Channel, up 37% from Jon Rahm's win last year and the highest since the 574K viewers for the 2019 final featuring Adam Long and Phil Mickelson. The 20-year-old amateur's victory has highlighted the emergence of young talent in golf, as noted by commentators like @jrdnprz, emphasizing the need for giving them more opportunities. Concurrently, the PGA Tour debuted nine new production trucks at Torrey Pines, built by NEP Broadcasting, to deliver enhanced 1080p HDR broadcasts, also benefiting @PGATOURLIVE on ESPNPlus. Despite his victory, Dunlap forwent a $1.5 million prize to retain his amateur status and was later acknowledged at Coleman Coliseum during the Alabama-Auburn game.

Nick Dunlap winning a PGA Tour event might have seemed like a surprise, but if you followed the amateur game like @jrdnprz, you'd know that the kids are coming. For the good of golf, we ought to give them as many chances to shine as we can. @NoLayingUp https://t.co/lHr2bLSyTa
