Foxtel locks in Masters Tournament broadcast rights ‘for years to come’
Foxtel Group has signed a multi-year extension with Augusta National Golf Club for the Australian broadcasting rights to the Masters Tournament.
The deal, announced on Wednesday, also includes broadcast rights to Augusta National’s amateur tournaments: Asia-Pacific Amateur Championship, Latin America Amateur Championship, and the Augusta National Women’s Amateur.
No details of the financial terms or length of the agreement were released by the network. Foxtel has held the rights to the prestigious golfing tournament for close to two decades.
In addition to this, Fox Sports and Kayo broadcast all four Golf Majors: the Masters, US Open, The Open Championship and PGA Championship, plus the LPGA, European Tour, Asian Tour, Ladies European Tour, Ryder Cup, The Solheim Cup, and domestic competitions from Golf Australia, PGA of Australia and WPGA.
“Golf remains an important part of our sport schedule and we remain the undisputed home for golf in Australia as the official broadcaster for all the major tours across the world,” said Foxtel Group director of content acquisitions and sports partnerships Adam Howarth.
“We continually build on this commitment and are delighted to be, once again, adding additional feeds and content for our subscribers bringing them closer than ever to all the action.”
