In the Light of the Famous $3B Merger, Can LIV Golf Fans Watch the Valderrama’s $25 Million Event on Golf Channel?

Ever since its inception, LIV Golf has been surrounded by many questions. But now it seems all those question marks are disappearing as the landmark decision of the merger between the Saudi-backed league, the PGA Tour and DP World Tour has come to pass earlier this month.

After the $3 billion amalgamation between the rivals took place, the chaos in the golfing world has subsided to some extent.

However, a question that still looms is whether this merger will have any impact on how fans can enjoy the action that unfolds during the Saudi League’s events. Let us find out.

Will fans be able to see LIV Golf’s upcoming international event on America’s biggest golf media channel?

For its eighth event of the season, LIV Golf is going international again, this time in Spain. The LIV Golf upcoming $25 million event is scheduled to take place from June 30 to July 2, and it is being hosted at Real Club Valderrama, Spain.

Fans and golfers alike are excited about the upcoming event, as it is the first event after the historic tri-partite agreement.

After the merger, will fans get to see the fun unravel at Golf Channel, or will they have to stick to old means of broadcasting?

The answer to the question is no; fans will not be able to see the Valderrama event on Golf Channel. But they can see the event via other older means.

American fans can view the event on CW Sports, LIV Golf’s first broadcasting partner in the US. The event will be streamed live from 7 a.m. EST.

The live action can also be enjoyed on LIV Golf’s YouTube channel and LIV Golf Plus app.

According to LIV Golf’s site, for the global fans of the Saudi-funded league, the Spain event can be viewed on the LIV Golf Plus application on demand and that too without any cost.

Fans can also see the league via one of the 12 international broadcasting partners, such as Seven, SuperSport, Direct TV, and so on.
