Sky Sports has extended its broadcast rights deal in the UK and Ireland to show The European Tour Group’s The DP World Tour. Sky Sports will now remain the home of the DP World Tour until 2024 and the Ryder Cup until 2025.

All DP World Tour events will be broadcast live exclusively across Sky’s platforms, which amounts to a minimum of 32 live events each season across the Tour’s global tournament schedule.

Sky Sports also plans to air a range of golf programming across both linear and digital platforms, including masterclass sessions with former DP World Tour winners and behind-the-scenes access ahead of the world’s biggest events.

Additionally, a dedicated Sky Sports Ryder Cup channel will be created for Sky’s coverage of both the 2023 Ryder Cup in Rome, and the 2025 Ryder Cup in New York.

Sky Sports’ golf team includes former Ryder Cup captain Paul McGinley, Butch Harmon, Laura Davies and Nick Dougherty.

Sky Sports managing director Jonathan Licht said: “As we kickstart a record-breaking year of golf on Sky, we are thrilled to be extending our long-term partnership with the DP World Tour, further cementing Sky Sports as the home of golf in the UK and Ireland.

“This year our customers can enjoy the DP World Tour alongside our live coverage of all four men’s majors, all five women’s majors, the PGA Tour, LPGA Tour and Ladies European Tour, all whilst they countdown the days to next year’s Ryder Cup in Rome, live exclusively on Sky Sports.”

Keith Pelley, chief executive of the European Tour group, added: “Sky Sports have been a trusted partner to our Tour as we continue to grow and transform, ensuring that fans of our sport in the UK and Ireland remain as close to the action as possible – with comprehensive live coverage of our events, world class analysis, and behind the scenes features. We’re delighted that our partnership will continue until the end of the 2024 season for the DP World Tour and will continue until 2025 for the Ryder Cup. As a Tour, we are focused on giving fans innovative and insightful content, so we’re excited about what is to come in collaboration with the talented team at Sky.”
