The PGA TOUR announced a renewed and expanded agreement with Twitter to distribute, on a free basis, nearly 140 hours of live competition from PGA TOUR LIVE across 28 tournaments during the 2018-19 PGA TOUR Season.
The multi-year agreement will facilitate streaming on Twitter the first 60 to 90 minutes from the morning hours of all four rounds of PGA TOUR LIVE’s Over-The-Top (OTT) subscription window, on a global basis. The addition of Saturday and Sunday morning coverage will result in the most live PGA TOUR content ever offered on Twitter.
In a nod to the PGA TOUR’s Fans’ First initiative, the TOUR is launching Fan Vote Fridays, giving fans the chance to vote, via Twitter to determine one of the two Featured Groups that will be showcased during Friday’s coverage, for each tournament streamed on Twitter. Fans will also have pre-tournament access with live streams from the driving range each week.
Twitter will begin live streaming at the Desert Classic in Palm Springs, California, on January 17-18. The four-round coverage on Twitter will begin at the Farmers Insurance Open in San Diego and conclude in August at the season-ending TOUR Championship in Atlanta, where the FedExCup Champion will be crowned.
