The season 2022 was a successful year for LIV golf and Greg Norman. Despite their rivalry with the PGA, antitrust law, and broadcast hunt, they were able to pull off nicely the last year. However, this year brought good news for all LIV fans. The long search for a broadcaster by Greg Norman finally ended with the confirmation of CW becoming the broadcast partner of the Saudi-backed circuit events. Last year, the fans could watch the LIV event only on YouTube and DAZN.

There were speculations of FOX sports joining LIV last year; however, CW was the final choice. According to The Palm Beach Post reports on Tuesday, LIV Golf analyst David Feherty revealed the news at one of his comedy events in Florida last week. It is one of its first sports deal contracts for CW. According to Front Office Sports, more news is yet to come. The multi-year contract with the fifth-largest broadcast network in the country will likely be revealed soon.
