UK heavyweight pay-TV broadcaster Sky has extended its rights deal covering US golf's top-tier PGA Tour, for the next four years.
Sky will continue to exclusively cover all events from the PGA Tour's FedExCup regular season through this deal, until the end of 2029, as well as the post-season playoffs.

The partnership also covers the 2026 and 2028 editions of the Presidents Cup (the team competition between the USA and the rest of the world, excluding Europe).
2025 PGA Tour viewership on Sky was up 20% year-on-year, as Northern Ireland's Rory McIlroy, and England's Justin Rose and Tommy Fleetwood, secured tournament victories.
Sky's last multi-year agreement to cover the PGA Tour was a sub-licensing deal with Warner Bros. Discovery, unveiled back in early 2022.
Jonathan Licht, chief sports officer at Sky, has commented: "This renewed partnership with the PGA Tour reinforces our long-term commitment to bringing the very best live golf to customers year-round for at least the next four years."

By GlobalDataThis renewed agreement follows hot on the heels of Sky extending its rights to the Masters, the iconic US golf major, with that agreement announced last week.
Earlier this year, Sky's UK coverage of the 2025 Masters – specifically the final day – contributed to its most-watched day in history. A peak audience of 1.85 million was viewing as McIlroy ended an 11-year wait for a fifth major victory by winning at the iconic Augusta National Golf Club in Georgia.
December has also seen the pay-TV giant extend with the Ladies European Tour for another five years.
Sky has been the dominant broadcaster of top-tier golf in the UK over most of the last decade.
Returning to the PGA Tour extension, as of this year, Sky is now partnering with the PGA Tour Studios arm to provide "direct access to Tour content," as well as extra camera feeds, remote replay options, and "technical resources for each event."
Norb Gambuzza, the PGA Tour's executive vice president of media, added: "Amazing performances from Rory McIlroy, Tommy Fleetwood, Justin Rose, and others from the UK and Ireland led to double-digit viewership increases on Sky in 2025. We look forward to further aligning PGA Tour Studios and the World Feed with Sky to deliver more content of the best players in the world."
Regarding the PGA Tour's recent broadcast activity, meanwhile, Advanced Info Service (AIS), the major telecoms firm in Thailand, was unveiled as a tour broadcast partner in that market late last month.
