Sky Sports managing director, Jonathan Licht, said: “We’re thrilled to continue our partnership with the PGA TOUR. The extended deal cements Sky Sports’ place as the home of golf in the UK and Ireland and means our customers will be able to follow the key live action on the TOUR for years to come.”  

PGA tour chief media officer, Rick Anderson, said: “We are extremely pleased to continue our long partnership with Sky Sports in a key market, one that values golf at the highest level. Sky Sports’ localised production connects the best in professional golf, the PGA TOUR, to our UK audience.’

Discovery for more than 30 years, helping to bring our channels and content to millions of people. Building on this relationship and extending PGA TOUR coverage on Sky Sports is a clear winner for viewers in the UK & Ireland, particularly given the channel’s proven commitment to innovative golf broadcasting and excellent live coverage.”
