Sky Sports win rights to show US PGA Championship

Sky Sports viewers will be able to watch live coverage of this year’s US PGA Championship after the satellite broadcaster confirmed that it secured the TV rights to what will be the season’s second major.

Sky had missed out on the rights for the previous two years, with Eleven Sports live streaming the tournament in 2018. There were rumours that Sky was struggling to secure a deal to broadcast the Masters, but the season’s first major will now be shown on Sky, ensuring that golf fans who subscribe to the channel will be able to watch all four majors this season.

Sky also has the rights to all five women’s Majors in 2019, including Georgia Hall’s bid to defend her Women’s British Open title at Woburn in August.

Sky Sports will show over 100 tournaments in 2019, including the Solheim Cup, all four World Golf Championship competitions and events each week from the European and PGA Tours.
