Fox Sports is taking a new swing at TV golf by striking a deal with Liv Golf, the Saudi-backed league that has been luring top players away from PGA Tour and has been seeking a wider presence in U.S. media.
Under terms of the deal, more than half of the league’s schedule will appear on the Fox broadcast network or Fox Sports 1. Select rounds will air on FS2, Fox Business Network and the Fox Sports app. Nearly all of the league’s 210 hours will be carried live on some part of the Fox Corp. portfolio.
Financial terms of the deal, termed as “multi-year” were not disclosed. Fox Sports previously showed the U.S. Open in a pact with U.S. Golf Association, but got out of that deal in 2020 due to pressures under the coronavirus pandemic.
