Sky Sport will broadcast 30 events from both tours, totaling around 600 hours of live golf on television.
Sky Responds to Rights Loss with Entry into LIV Golf and Asian Tour
Hans Gabbe, Senior Vice President Sports Rights & Commercialization at Sky Germany, is pleased that Sky Sport will hold long-term broadcast rights for all four men’s Major tournaments, the five women’s Major tournaments, all key women’s events, and now also the rights to the LIV Golf League and the Asian Tour. He said: ‘The global schedule of LIV Golf and its unique team and individual competition format offer fans access to some of the biggest golf stars and great venues. Our customers can look forward to innovatively produced golf events and many of the most exciting and best players in the world.’
The partnership starts on Friday, January 9, 2026, with live coverage of the qualifying event “LIV Golf Promotions 2026” at Black Diamond Ranch in Florida, where an international field competes for three coveted wildcard spots for the 2026 LIV Golf League season. Among the participants are German professionals Dominic Foos, Max Kieffer, Max Rottluff, and Austrian Matthias Schwab. Sky Sport Golf will broadcast the LIV Golf Promotions live daily from 4:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.
With the LIV Golf League and the Asian Tour, plus over 1,000 hours of live coverage annually, Sky Sport will continue to offer extensive golf programming to its customers. Coverage of the DP World Tour and PGA Tour tournaments will be available from January 15, 2026, on Magenta TV.
