LIV Golf Announces Historic Broadcast Partnership with FOX Sports
In a major development for the sport of golf, LIV Golf has announced a historic broadcast partnership with FOX Sports. The agreement marks a significant step forward for the league as it prepares for its biggest season yet.
The announcement comes just days before the 2023-24 season concludes and sets the stage for an exciting and innovative broadcast experience in the world of golf. Under the terms of the deal, LIV Golf will air its rounds on FOX Sports platforms starting with the upcoming 2025 season.
“We are thrilled to have reached this agreement,” said Greg Norman, CEO and Commissioner of LIV Golf. “Having a partner like FOX Sports is a huge win for our league. Their reputation for delivering world-class sports coverage aligns perfectly with our vision, and we believe their expertise will elevate the experience for all fans.”
The partnership is seen as a significant coup for LIV Golf, which has attracted top talent such as Jon Rahm, Bryson DeChambeau, Brooks Koepka, and Phil Mickelson since its inception. The league’s innovative approach to team play, with teams competing alongside individual events, has garnered attention from fans and critics alike.
“I’m pumped to see how FOX Sports will showcase what makes our game so unique,” said Brooks Koepka, a member of the LIV Golf roster. “As players, we’re excited about the possibilities this partnership presents in terms of storytelling and presentation.”
The agreement also marks a major shift for golf on television, as traditional broadcast partners have largely shied away from supporting the league due to controversy surrounding its Saudi-backed funding.
“FOX Sports has a reputation for delivering world-class sports coverage,” added Rahm. “I believe they will bring an innovative approach to our sport that we’ve never seen before.”
The exact details of the partnership, including broadcast schedules and channels, have not been released at this time. However, it is clear that this agreement represents a major turning point in the history of LIV Golf.
“We are excited to announce this historic partnership with LIV Golf,” said a spokesperson for FOX Sports. “As we prepare for our biggest season yet, this collaboration will take our broadcast to new heights.”
