Sky Sports Extends Exclusive Rights Deal With The Masters

Pay-TV network Sky Sports has renewed its deal with The Masters as the tournament’s exclusive broadcast partner in the U.K. and Ireland.

The multiyear extension, which was first announced during live coverage of this year’s opening round, will see Sky Sports continue its coverage of Featured Groups and select holes before full live coverage begins. 

The broadcaster will also provide full highlights from each day.

U.K. coverage of The Masters began airing on Sky Sports in 2011, with Ireland added this year.

Over the weekend at The Masters 86th tournament, Sky broadcasted Amen Corner on YouTube, with five other digital feeds available. 

Sky Sports calls itself the “home of golf in 2022,” as it has rights to all four men’s majors, all four women’s majors, the PGA Tour, LPGA Tour, DP World Tour, and the Ladies European Tour.

This field is for validation purposes and should be left unchanged.
