LIFE Golf
it could pay the networks to secure television coverage as it seeks to secure its long-term presence, its director of operations told AFP agency.
The LIV, which has hired some of the best golfers in the world by checkbook, attracting the ire of traditional golf establishments and especially the PGA, is currently in conversations with US and international broadcasterssaid Atul Khosla on the sidelines of the Jeddah Invitational, the last singles tournament of the circuit’s inaugural season, which began in June.
When asked about information that LIV would buy airtime with the US chain “Fox Sports”, the leader replied that his organization had not yet defined “commercial terms with any sponsors”.
“It could be like this (the airtime assumption), it could be a distribution (of income), it could be advertising income,” he said.
“There are so many different ways to build agreements“said the former NFL manager of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
The first season of LIV Golf is available on YouTube, but cannot be watched on television, although it has been offered for free to potential broadcasters.
What does LIV Golf offer in sporting terms for its golf tournaments?
LIV Golf innovations include three-day instead of four-day tournaments, with no course, and a limited number of 48 participants. Players can wear shorts (still banned in traditional golf) and music is played through speakers along the course.
But the biggest draw for players is financial, with big rewards like a $ 200 million bonus to 52-year-old American Phil Mickelson.
However, they are currently unable to earn points for the world rankings, which affects their chances of competing in any of the four “majors” on the calendar.
Does THE PGA Tour have a Netflix series?
It hasn’t come out to date, but like the Formula 1 documentary series, that’s how the PGA TOUR recorded the incidents of this year’s international golf season.
At the time, the information was released through a statement shared by this sports organization through its social networks.
“We will be working with Netflix to present an audiovisual project that will allow us to show, in detail, the lives and stories of some of the most recognized golfers,” Rick Anderson, Director of Communications for the PGA Tour said in the letter.
