SiriusXM and the PGA Tour have secured a new agreement. The two sides have announced a four-year extension to their broadcasting partnership, which includes continued extensive tournament coverage on SiriusXM PGA Tour Radio for subscribers nationwide through 2021.
SiriusXM PGA Tour Radio is the home for coverage of every round of most PGA Tour events throughout the season. Among the events covered are The Players Championship, The FedEx Cup Playoffs and the biennial Presidents Cup.
“We are very pleased to continue our relationship with SiriusXM, whose growing subscriber base is an important and effective way for the TOUR to reach fans across the country,” said Rick Anderson, the PGA TOUR’s Chief Media Officer. “The PGA TOUR represents the pinnacle of competitive golf and we are thrilled to work with SiriusXM to continue delivering the best golf in the world to fans everywhere, whether they are in their cars, at home or on the go.”
“PGA Tour coverage is a very important part of our sports programming lineup, and we are very pleased to extend our long-term relationship with the TOUR to continue to give our listeners an extensive schedule of in-depth tournament broadcasts,” said Scott Greenstein, SiriusXM’s President and Chief Content Officer. “No other audio or streaming broadcaster can match SiriusXM’s level of golf programming, and whether it is via our radios or our app, we continue to deliver it to fans anywhere across the country.”
In addition to all of the PGA Tour events listed above, SiriusXM also offers, through separate agreements, live coverage of the Masters Tournament, U.S. Open, The Open Championship, PGA Championship and Ryder Cup.
