BBC Sport has secured TV highlights, digital clips and audio commentary of the Ryder Cup until 2029.

The 45th edition of the bi-annual golf tournament between Europe and the US is taking place in New York from Friday 26 – Sunday 28 September, with Europe aiming to defend the title it won in Italy last time round. Sky Sports is broadcasting the competition live in the UK. 

Sarah Mulkerrins will present daily 90-minute highlight programmes from New York, which will be available on BB2 and iPlayer from midnight after each day’s play. This will include commentary from Andrew Cotter, Ken Brown and Ned Michaels, with Brown also on hand to provide extra insight with Ken On The Course features. 

Digital clips will be on BBC Sport social media channels and on the website each day. BBC also holds the rights to live radio coverage of the tournament, which will also be available online. 

In addition to the Ryder Cup, this agreement also includes the highlights and digital clips from the Genesis Scottish Open, BMW PGA Championship and DP World Tour Championship until 2029, as well as audio commentary of the BMW PGA Championship on BBC Sounds, 5 Sports Extra and the BBC Sport website

Alex Kay-Jelski, director of BBC Sport says: “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.”
