For those hoping to tune in to catch early action from the opening round of the 2022 Sentry Tournament of Champions on Thursday, here’s a friendly reminder that with the new year comes a new platform for PGA Tour Live.
A new nine-year domestic media rights deal for the PGA Tour kicks off at 2:20 p.m. ET Thursday on ESPN+ with the first tee shot of the new year. ESPN+ will also have featured hole and featured group coverage. Tournament action will be telecast live on Golf Channel starting at 6 p.m. ET all four days.
NBC Sports remains one of the Tour’s television partners, and Golf Channel will carry early-round and lead-in weekend coverage of every FedEx Cup event in 2022, but the NBC Sports app that previously streamed the PGA Tour Live coverage will no longer offer that service.
“Our existing partners CBS Sports and NBC Sports share our vision for the future and we are equally excited to be teaming with Disney and ESPN+ for what we see as an unparalleled opportunity to grow and diversify our fan base,” said Rick Anderson, the PGA Tour’s chief media officer in a release.
ESPN+ will have PGA Tour Live coverage of 35 events in 2022, including the Masters and the PGA Championship. After the first two events of 2022 in Hawaii, the Tour heads to the American Express, and that’s where the PGA Tour Live coverage on ESPN+ really ramps up. That’ll be the first of 28 tournaments with four full days of coverage and four simultaneous live feeds each day.
