TV deal

LIV Golf has signed a television deal with The CW Network. Last year, all the events of the Saudi-backed series were streamed on their YouTube channel.

This year, however, they have signed a multi-year, revenue-sharing deal with the American network to present their tournaments in the country.

As per their contract, LIV Golf will not pay for airtime while the CW Network will not pay the league rights fees. The CW Network will present the Saturday and Sunday rounds on television while Friday's opening rounds will be streamed on the app.

For countries other than the USA, matches are available on the CW Network app.
