LIV Golf is making a big move to Fox Sports, landing a major TV deal that kicks off next month when players tee off in Saudi Arabia.
It’s a fresh start for the controversial golf league, which struggled to attract viewers in its previous partnership with The CW.
Fox Sports is going all-in on the coverage. Fans will catch more than half the tournaments on Fox’s main channel or FS1, with some action spilling over to FS2 and Fox Business Network. They’re planning to broadcast nearly every minute of the 210 hours of competition live.

"This is a huge win for LIV Golf," says Brooks Koepka, one of the league’s biggest stars.
LIV isn’t changing everything, though. They’ll keep handling their own production and stick with their current broadcast team.
The season starts with four tournaments overseas before heading stateside. Miami hosts the first U.S. event, perfectly timed just a week before the Masters gets underway.
Things could get interesting late in the season. LIV’s final three tournaments will go head-to-head with the PGA Tour’s FedExCup playoffs in August, setting up a real battle for golf fans’ attention.
