PGA Championship signs UK TV deal until 2026

Sky Sports remains the UK home of major golf after extending its broadcasting deal with the PGA of America. 

The broadcaster has agreed a three-year extension to continue to air the PGA Championship in the UK and Ireland up until at least 2026.

That means that in 2024, Sky Sports will have access to comprehensive, in-depth coverage of all four men’s majors, as well as all five women’s majors.

Sky will also continue showcasing the Senior PGA Championship as part of its new deal.

“We are ecstatic to continue our partnership with Sky Sports,” Jeff Price, the PGA of America’s chief commercial officer, said.

“This extension ensures that golf spectators across the UK and Ireland can witness all of the thrilling action at the PGA Championship and KitchenAid Senior PGA Championship each May.

“We take great pride in our close collaboration to bring the excitement of Major Championship golf to Sky’s dedicated audience.”

The 2024 PGA Championship will be staged from 16-19 May at Valhalla in Kentucky, while the senior event will be staged at Harbor Shores in Michigan from May 23-26.

The next men’s major live on Sky is the Masters at Augusta National, which will take place from 11-14 April in 2024. The Chevron Championship, the first major on the women’s major calendar, will be staged in the same month.
