IRISH GOLF VIEWERS will be unable to watch the 2018 PGA Championship on TV, with the Eleven Sports network securing exclusive rights to broadcast free coverage across their website and Facebook page.
The UK-based sports network has unveiled live and exclusive rights to next month’s competition, with coverage available for free to the UK and Irish public across their platforms.
The centenary edition of the golf major runs from 9-12 August at the Bellerive Country Club in St. Louis Missouri.
“All four rounds will be shown live and free of charge through a 7-day trial on the Eleven Sports online platform and on iOS and Android mobile and tablet apps,” the network announced on Monday.
“The first two rounds will also be streamed for free on Facebook Live through the Eleven Sports UK page.
“Comprehensive highlights will also be available on demand on www.elevensports.uk and on the mobile and tablet apps on all four days of the tournament.
“In-depth presentation, commentary and analysis will be provided by golf experts and familiar faces Dominik Holyer and Anna Whiteley.”
The final major of the season was broadcast on the BBC and eirSport in 2017 and has not been shown on Sky Sports in three years.
Eleven Sports Network, which was founded by Leeds United owner Andrea Radrizzani in 2015, said it was using this year’s PGA Championships as the official launch event for its platforms.
