LIV Golf TV Channel: How To Watch All 14 Tournaments In 2023
LIV Golf's search for a TV deal is finally over. There were no television broadcasts for the inaugural season of the Saudi-backed golf league, but that will change in 2023.
LIV Golf has reached a multi-year agreement with the CW Network. In 2023, fans can watch LIV Golf by turning into the TV channel that carries the CW on their local cable package or by streaming events with the CW app.
"This is a momentous day for LIV Golf as this partnership is about more than just media rights," LIV Golf CEO Greg Norman said in a statement. "The CW will provide accessibility for our fans and maximum exposure for our athletes and partners as their reach includes more than 120 million households across the United States. We're very proud to note how consequential it is that a league that has only existed for one year has secured a full broadcast deal in its debut full league season."
There are 14 events on this year's LIV Golf schedule. The CW app will stream the first round of each tournament. Both the CW TV channel and the CW app will broadcast the second and third rounds of each LIV Golf tournament.
The 2023 LIV Golf schedule starts February 24-26 with an event at El Camaleón Golf Course in Mexico.
"For The CW, our partnership with LIV Golf marks a significant milestone in our goal to re-engineer the network with quality, diversified programming for our viewers, advertisers and CW affiliates," The CW President Dennis Miller said. "This also marks the first time in The CW's 17-year history that the network is the exclusive broadcast home for live mainstream sports."
During LIV Golf's inaugural season, events were broadcast on the league's official website and YouTube page. The final round of the Team Championship, LIV Golf's last event, generated 451,000 views on YouTube.
In its second season, LIV Golf has nearly doubled its number of tournaments and increased the amount of prize money that players are competing to win. Phil Mickelson, Dustin Johnson, Bryson DeChambeau, Brooks Koepka and Cameron Smith are among the top names that have left the PGA Tour in favor of LIV.
