LIV Golf is nearing a deal to purchase air time for its tournaments on U.S. cable television, multiple sources have told Golfweek. The potential agreement — which is still being finalized — is with Fox Sports 1.


And for some perspective for the detractors:

For historical perspective, the Ryder Cup was a "time buy" on ABC until 1989 when USA Network paid $250K for broadcast rights. After that week, NBC paid millions for the next 5 cup matches. Everything has to start somewhere.

I don't know if I would compare having to buy time in a content soaked 2022 to doing so in 1989. Networks are dying for content and you cant sell a golf tournament?

Also they will have to continue to pay and produce the events, along with selling their own ad time. They are basically agreeing to the same model infomercials get.

The NBA Finals were also shown on tape delay.

Comparing live sports rights when there were 5 channels vs today is ridiculous. Live sports rights are the hottest thing going right now. Them basically having an infomercial for their product is not an ideal situation.
