You can watch LIV golf, sponsored by Saudi Arabian capital, on TV in the United States.
LIV Golf announced on the 20th (Korean time) that it had signed a multi-year broadcasting contract with the American broadcaster CW Network. He added that they agreed to broadcast the 2nd and final 3rd rounds on TV and broadcast the 1st round through CW’s own application.
LIV Golf, launched in June of last year, was unable to find a broadcaster in the United States, so it relayed the game through its own website and YouTube. In Korea, three golf and sports channels simultaneously broadcast LIV golf matches. This is because it was possible to broadcast on TV for free without paying for the relay rights for LIV golf publicity.
“The CW is a broadcaster that can reach 120 million households across the United States,” said Greg Norman, LIV Golf Commissioner. Today is a very important day for LIV Golf because this partnership is more than just media rights.”
The Associated Press reported that LIV Golf did not disclose details of the deal, but most outlets said the CW would not pay for media rights to LIV Golf, but instead would share advertising revenue.
At the same time, CW was introduced as the fifth largest broadcasting company in the United States and the second youngest channel after Fox channel. 스포츠토토
However, unlike NBC, ESPN, Fox Sports, etc., it is little known in the field of sports broadcasting. Meanwhile, the collaboration with LIV Golf is expected to be an important milestone for the CW network as well. Dennis Miller, president of The CW Network, said, “It is very meaningful to be able to broadcast major sports for the first time in the CW’s 17-year history.”
