Sky Sports picks up TGL rights in two-year deal with TMRW Sports
Sky Sports has acquired UK and Ireland broadcast rights to TGL, the new golf league launched by TMRW Sports.
The two-year partnership covers the 2025 and 2026 seasons, providing Sky customers with access to every match, including the semi-finals and finals.
Sky’s coverage of the TGL season will also be available in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and Italy.
The inaugural TGL season tees off on 7th January at the custom-built SoFi Center in Palm Beach Gardens, with the campaign running until 25th March.
The competition comprises six teams of elite golfers, who will compete in two-hour matches across 15 custom-designed holes, in a hybrid of both virtual and real-life action.
TGL marks the first venture launched by TMRW, which was founded by golf icons Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy in 2022, along with industry executive Mike McCarley.
Sky’s golf content offering also includes all men’s and women’s major tournaments, as well as the Ryder Cup and Solheim Cup, and PGA Tour coverage.
Jason Wessely, Director of Golf, Sky Sports, said, “TGL is such an exciting and innovative new format that both existing and new golf fans can enjoy, and we’re delighted to be part of the TGL journey from the start, bringing fans even closer to some of the greatest golf stars.”
Mike McCarley, CEO of TMRW Sports, added, “As the media home of golf in the UK and Ireland, Sky Sports is the ideal home for TGL to reach fans who are accustomed to turning to Sky to find the best golfers in the world on Sky Sports platforms across Europe.
“With five TGL golfers across four teams from the UK and Ireland, golf fans will have local players to watch and new teams to follow in this fast-paced version of golf that is rooted in the traditions the game.”
