FOX SPORTS AND LIV GOLF TO ENTER MULTI-YEAR MEDIA RIGHTS AGREEMENT

FOX Sports and LIV Golf today announced 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.

It's not just FOX, FS1, FS2 and the FOX Sports app but FOX Business as well.

Fox doesn’t have a good track record doing golf.

When’s the last time Fox broadcast it?

They had a long term agreement with the US Open that they bailed out on. I want to say 2017?

Until now I thought that was just a tennis tournament.

NBC to broadcast U.S. Open as Fox backs out of contract

The Associated Press reported that Fox asked to end its 12-year contract with the USGA and that NBC would pick up the final seven years of the contract.

2015 - 2019 and it was a 12 year deal.

Fox is just picking up the LIV Golf world feed, will do no production of its own beyond dropping in commercials and promos.

I was surprised that FOX Sports didn't sign with LIV Golf in 2023 rumors were that they were interested in it before The CW signed with LIV. Will LIV show the ratings or hide them like they did on CW. And are The 9/11 families outrage as they been very outspoken about LIV, FOX Sports has no comment about it and just leave it at that. Kinda what The CW did although they said they knowledge them and leaved it at that.

That’s ok, LIV is barely a real thing anyway.

So im assuming it will not air on the cw any more.

The ratings are no better and some even worse than when CW aired Live Gulf. I think only part of one round has been on Fox broadcasting network so far and the rest they put on fs2 or fs1 or the "business" channel.
