LIV Golf has secured a major broadcast partnership with ITV to air their 2025 season on free-to-air television in the United Kingdom.

The deal includes a weekly highlights show on ITV4 and follows similar broadcasting agreements with FOX Sports in the USA, Coupang Play in South Korea, and Movistar Plus+ in Spain.

Ron Wechsler, LIV Golf's SVP of broadcast partnerships and programming strategy, called the deal "a major milestone" in their mission to expand global reach. ITV Sport director Niall Sloane expressed excitement about bringing live golf back to UK free-to-air television.

This broadcast partnership, combined with the recent signing of popular YouTuber Rick Shiels, is expected to significantly boost LIV Golf's viewership for the 2025 season. The move represents another step in LIV Golf's strategy to establish itself as a major player in global sports broadcasting.
