LIV Golf

[wjemather]

because I would be expecting Fox to look at ways to be getting subscribers in

And then would expect in the same way other deals have happened in sport that they would be looking for broadcasters outside the UK to pay for the rights to help spread the cost

Why would Fox pay for rights and then still see them being broadcast free on an App or you tube

Again, the deal doesn't give Fox rights outside the US, and LIV has existing deals with broadcasters in dozens of other countries (some are free-to-air, some are subscription).

One major exception is the UK, where it's up to LIV how they broadcast and I see no reason to expect their free coverage via the app and YT to end.

 

[Fore Right]

Considering the players they have now it was only a matter of time till a major network picked them up, thought it would be TNT.

Just want my UK place to watch confirming now... Guess the App will coninue

 

[fenwayrich]

I'd like to see TNT take it on. I'm not a subscriber.

 

[Fore Right]

Don't think LIV fully appreciated the player they had signed when they secured Hattons signature..

It was on TV in the US on the CW. What difference will it make being on but a different channel?

We don't have these channels in the UK but I'm guessing.
More prominent channel that's known for sports thats in a reported 72 million homes in the US.

I'm guessing there is more chance of someone watching pro golf on Fox than there is the CW.
As there is more chance of some watching animals do the funniest things on CW than there is on Fox.

Surely it's your ankles that would be exposed, not your belly (I'd hope).

 

[Lord Tyrion]

Nay, definitely nay

For all his obvious flaws Lefty is a marketing dream...

Have LiV dropping their player standards so far that Shiels is going to get a game?

I think you'll find the PGAT is where the YouTubers are filling the gaps Steve. Literally.

Don’t forget, the emoji signifies a slight bit of sarcasm.

Seems that his company his majority owned by 54 golf who is owned by PIF

And someone has done his announcement for him before his own big reveal

https://twitter.com/x/status/1882473359503487234

Was there some influencers tournament that he wasn’t invited too ( but Peter Finch etc was )

Guess there will be now games against Liv golf’s on the channel

I assume you mean Performance54, which, according to Companies House, is actually a minority shareholder in Rick Shiels Media Ltd. (Shiels being the majority shareholder).

 

[garyinderry]

Will be intresting to see what the big reveal actually is.

A LIV link up wouldn't surprise me as its bound to be lucrative.
Rick never really struck me as someone who is was big into tour golf. More of a causal observer.

In my opinion, the young ones into golf aren’t sitting watching the PGA tour, LIV tour or the European tour, they are watching YouTube videos with all sorts of different content, I’ve personally watched more golf YouTube videos than actual golf in the last year, their shorter, you can leave and go back to it when you want, it’s a massive part of the future of the sport.

I have got to the stage now where it’s pretty much just majors

Seen the clips come up on social media from various you tubers but been a while since gone searching for any actual content

Used to enjoy when they played matches after only spending £100 or when they played against top young ams at their own club
