Fox Sports and LIV Golf have set a multi-year media rights agreement that will deliver live coverage of LIV Golf League competition to viewers throughout the U.S. beginning this February with the start of LIV Golf’s third official League season.
The deal marks the Saudi-backed league’s first outing on a major sports network Stateside after a stint on the CW. LIV was launched in 2022. LIV Golf CEO Scott O’Neil said the pact signals its “next phase of growth.”
Throughout the season, all three days of LIV Golf tournament competition will air live across the Fox family of networks with more than half of the League’s schedule airing on Fox or FS1. Select rounds will air on FS2, Fox Business Network and the Fox Sports App, with nearly all of the LIV Golf season’s 210 hours of competition carried live across Fox Sports platforms. All LIV Golf coverage will also be streamed on the Fox Sports App and to LIV Golf+ app subscribers.
“We are thrilled to partner with Fox Sports, one of the preeminent broadcast networks in the world,” said LIV Golf CEO Scott O’Neil. “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. I want to thank the Fox Sports team who share our vision for the future of golf, a new model that is redefining how the sport is experienced. LIV Golf is drawing a younger, more active and tech-savvy fan base, and as our players and teams prepare for LIV Golf’s biggest season yet, this agreement will take our broadcast to new heights.”
“Fox Sports is excited to broadcast the LIV Golf League, showcasing athletes at the top of their game competing at an elite level for viewers across the nation,” said Jordan Bazant, Executive Vice President, FOX Sports. “The addition of LIV Golf is a natural fit for FOX Sports’ prominent slate of big events, world-class names and premium sports coverage.”
LIV Golf broadcasts will continue to be produced with its in-house team, maintaining its distinctive live leaderboard, enhanced drone coverage, statistics-driven graphics, and fast-paced coverage featuring nearly twice as many golf shots per hour than traditional golf coverage. The LIV on-air announce team will see its acclaimed on-air talent squad return, with Arlo White leading play-by-play alongside analysts David Feherty and Jerry Foltz in the booth, with Dom Boulet and Su-Ann Heng providing coverage on the course.
LIV Golf’s Club 54 pre- and post-round shows will once again be hosted by Christian Crosby with analysis from Rachel Drummond, Jerry Foltz, Su-Ann Heng, and Dom Boulet. The pre- and post-round programs will be featured live on Fox Sports’ platforms or otherwise on the LIV Golf+ app. LIV Golf’s groundbreaking Any Shot, Any Time technology will be available exclusively to LIV Golf+ subscribers, giving fans the ability to select exactly which golfers, teams or groups they want to watch at any given time, continuing to drive new engagement and innovation for the sport. Subscribers to LIV Golf+ will also have access to exclusive video on demand content and all rounds of LIV Golf competition 24 hours after completion.
