BBC Sport secures Ryder Cup right
BBC Sport has secured a multi-year agreement for free-to-air Ryder Cup highlights, audio commentary and digital clips until 2029.
The deal with the DP World Tour ensures the biennial golf tournament remains available on free-to-air platforms. Coverage will include daily 90-minute highlight programmes on BBC Two and iPlayer, digital clips across BBC Sport’s online platforms, and over 30 hours of audio commentary across BBC Radio 5 Live and BBC Sounds.
In addition to the Ryder Cup, the agreement also sees BBC Sport retain TV highlights and digital clips from the Genesis Scottish Open, BMW PGA Championship and DP World Tour Championship until 2029.
Alex Kay-Jelski, Director of BBC Sport, said, “Golf can have you up on your feet in an instant. The suspense, drama and camaraderie in the sport is second to none and the Ryder Cup is one of the highlights in the golf calendar. I’m proud that we’ve extended our partnership with the DP World Tour until 2029 to deliver multiplatform and digital coverage of the Ryder Cup and more on BBC Sport.”
Richard Bunn, Chief Revenue and Content Officer at the DP World Tour, added, “We’re delighted that our relationship with the BBC, spanning multiple platforms, has been extended until 2029. With highlights from the next three Ryder Cup matches, as well as three Rolex Series events on the DP World Tour each season, fans will be able to watch the key moments as our world-class players compete for iconic trophies.”
