Report: LIV Golf set for shock TV deal with unlikely network
LIV Golf has had one hell of a ride in attempting to sign a broadcasting deal, but it now appears they finally have secured one.
With countless billions put into the inaugural year, Chairman Greg Norman and his ever-changing band of officials have been increasingly desperate to give the coverage rights to a major channel. The feeling is that, in turn, the rebel tour will gain more exposure and eventually sponsorship will finally pay back some of the money paid out by the Saudi Public Investment Fund.
Over the past months, we have read that deals have broken down or were not even considered, with the likes of Apple TV calling the tour “too toxic” and an apparently agreed deal with Fox Sports never really on the way to being confirmed.
But per Front Office Sports, LIV Golf has secured a broadcast deal with The CW, making it the first sports deal ever for The CW.
Per the report, LIV will continue to produce events on YouTube and on DAZN for now, while beyond the broadcast deal with CW, Saudi-backed LIV Golf are set to continue working on a separate streaming deal.

‘You’re f***ing hilarious, aren’t you?’ – Shane Lowry snaps at spectator during WGC Match Play
It’s been a struggle for Shane Lowry throughout his career at the WGC Dell Technologies Match Play. Since 2019, the Irishman is now 3-6 at the event prior to the 2023 version of the event.
The struggles continued on Wednesday for Lowry as he found himself two down to Taylor Montgomery on the 17th hole when a fan said something to him after his tee shot.
The frustration finally showed through and Lowry snapped back at the fan.
“You’re f***ing hilarious ,aren’t you?”

Laura Davies on Sky Sports reacted immediately, saying “Apologies for the language.”
Lowry will give it another crack tomorrow as he faces off against Mackenzie Hughes on Thursday at 11:59 A.M. EDT.

However, the post didn’t go as planned, with some users comparing Korda to Rickie Fowler because of her wardrobe choice, while one user simply said: “Orange pants with red shoes? Bruh for real?”
Korda responded on Instagram shortly after, saying “Don’t hate me for my Orange pants and red shoes,” she wrote. “It was a bit of a wardrobe malfunction.”
