Just turned on Eurosport 2 and they are showing live USPGA golf.
I new there was a rumour doing the rounds so it looks like they have taken over Setanta coverage.

Yeah they've bought the rights for the rest of the 2009 season

Eurosport and the US PGA Tour announced yesterday that the broadcaster has secured the television rights for the remainder of the 2009 Tour season in the UK.

The agreement comes two days after the Tour said its six-year deal with Setanta was void because the Irish-based broadcaster had filed for bankruptcy protection.

“We are pleased to announce this agreement with Eurosport, which ensures that PGA TOUR coverage will continue to be made available, live, every week to golf fans throughout the United Kingdom,” said PGA Tour commissioner Tim Finchem.

Eurosport chairman Laurent Eric Le Lay added: “British golf fans can now see the world’s best players competing live as the 2009 season unfolds. We can give the US PGA TOUR’s iconic tournaments excellent coverage across our two UK TV channels, and fans can follow regular news and results at Eurosport’s leading sports website.”

Coverage began last night with a live broadcast from the Travelers Championship in Cromwell, Connecticut.

Fantastic. Enjoyed watching Kenny Perry win last night in Conneticut. I hope Eurosport keep hold of this and we aren't charged a fortune next year.
