Getty Images, the visual media creator and marketplace, has extended its photographic services partnership with US golf’s PGA Tour to serve as its exclusive commercial photo supplier.

Through the agreement, Getty will retain the designation of official photographic services provider of the PGA Tour, PGA Tour Champions, and the Korn Ferry Tour.

The extension prolongs the long-standing relationship between Getty and the PGA Tour, which began in 2005.

It will continue to provide the tour, its players, tournaments, business partners, and global media with access to its collection of golf imagery.

In addition, the partnership will be expanded to include coverage of every PGA Tour Champions and Korn Ferry Tour event, double the number of photographers on site at PGA Tour events, and add Wednesday coverage to the existing Thursday through Sunday coverage.

Getty has other interests in golf, including sponsorship of the Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA) and as a photographic partner of the PGA of America.
