Sky has extended its UK and Ireland PGA Tour rights in a new four-year deal running through to the end of 2029.

The renewal keeps Sky Sports as the exclusive broadcaster of all FedExCup regular season tournaments, including The Players Championship from Sawgrass, plus the FedExCup Playoffs and TOUR Championship each season.

The agreement also adds continued live coverage of the 2026 and 2028 Presidents Cup, extending Sky’s access to leading international team competitions through the end of the decade alongside the Ryder Cup and Solheim Cup.

Sky said the extension follows recent renewals with the Ladies European Tour, DP World Tour, USGA and Augusta National, maintaining a rights portfolio that includes all golf Majors, plus year-round men’s and women’s tour coverage for at least the next four years.

As part of the wider partnership, Sky will continue to carry the Korn Ferry Tour and PGA TOUR Champions, while a new collaboration this year sees PGA Tour Studios working with Sky to provide additional camera feeds, direct access to TOUR content, remote replay capability and technical resources at each event. The relationship will expand again in 2026 with Sky talent featuring on the PGA Tour’s new World Feed for international broadcasts.

Sky Chief Sports Officer Jonathan Licht said the renewed agreement underlines Sky’s long-term commitment to live golf and strengthens its “unrivalled golf offering”, pairing PGA Tour coverage with Majors and key team events.

PGA Tour Executive Vice President, Media Norb Gambuzza pointed to audience growth on Sky in 2025, citing double-digit increases driven by UK and Ireland players including Rory McIlroy, Tommy Fleetwood and Justin Rose. Sky said PGA Tour viewing in the UK rose by more than 20% in 2025, with a 34% lift during McIlroy’s wins at The Players. Sky also reported a 54% year-on-year increase for the FedExCup Playoffs, highlighted by Rose’s FedEx St. Jude Championship victory and Fleetwood’s TOUR Championship win and FedExCup title.

Sky added that golf helped deliver record viewing milestones in 2025, with The Masters and Ryder Cup contributing to Sky’s highest-ever viewing day and its most-watched weekend. The broadcaster also highlighted its production innovations, including the “world-first” Spidercam debut at The Open Championship at Royal Portrush.
