FOX Sports, LIV Golf announce agreement on multiyear TV deal
FOX Sports and LIV Golf, the Saudi-funded venture, agreed to a multiyear media rights agreement, with coverage of the 14 tournament schedule starting next month, the network announced Thursday.
Financial terms of the agreement and how many years it will last were not announced.
Fox takes over broadcast rights from the CW, which aired tournaments the past two years.
One of the FOX properties will air all three days of the LIV Golf tournament competition, with more than half of the schedule airing live on FOX or FS1. All the coverage can be streamed on the Fox and LIV Golf+ app.
‘We are thrilled to partner with FOX Sports, one of the preeminent broadcast networks in the world,’ LIV Golf CEO Scott O’Neil said in a statement. ‘LIV Golf is getting bigger and bolder, and this relationship signals the next phase of growth as our League joins the company of the nation’s premier sports leagues and conferences.’
Christian Crosby will continue to host LIV Golf’s Club 54 pre- and post-round shows, and Rachel Drummond, Jerry Foltz, Su-Ann Heng and Dom Boulet will provide analysis.
The 2025 LIV Golf season starts Feb. 6 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The subsequent three tournaments will be played overseas. The first domestic tournament will be held in Miami beginning April 4, the week before the Masters tournament.
