Golf Channel renews DP World Tour deal
The Golf Channel will continue as the US home of the DP World Tour until at least the end of 2030, after extending its rights deal. The broadcaster will air every DP World Tour event, meaning it will show over 600 hours from the golf competition each year.
Guy Kinnings, CEO of the DP World Tour, said: “With this long-term renewal, fans of the DP World Tour in the US will continue to have coverage of every tournament and never miss a shot as we travel around the world. Golf Channel has been a long-term partner for three decades and this agreement underlines their continued commitment to showcasing golf’s global Tour. We had a truly memorable 2025 that will go down in history as one of our greatest season’s ever – reflected in stellar viewing figures in the United States. We therefore start our fourth decade of partnership with excellent momentum.”
