Seven and LIV Golf announce multi-year extension

Seven Network has retained the rights for every round of the LIV Golf League. The world’s first global team golf league, featuring many of the sport’s biggest stars, will return live and free in 2025 and beyond.

 

Fans can follow all the exciting action and rivalries of the upcoming season on 7plus Sport, beginning with LIV Golf Riyadh on 6 to 8 February and then LIV Golf Adelaide from 14 to 16 February as the tournament visits The Grange Golf Club once again.

LIV Golf Adelaide 2024 saw a groundbreaking tournament unfold on Seven, with the league’s first-ever team playoff between the all-Australian Ripper GC and the all-South African Stinger GC. More than 2.7 million viewers tuned in to Seven and 7plus Sport across the three days to watch the action. The three-day comp reached 250,000 Western Australians with 1.57 million minutes streamed on 7plus.

LIV Golf’s return to Seven brings exciting opportunities for Western Australian fans to get amongst the action. As part of a dedicated national promotion, viewers can tune into 7NEWS between Monday 27 and Thursday 30 January for their chance to win a VIP experience at LIV Golf’s iconic Watering Hole.

One lucky winner and a friend from each state will enjoy flights, accommodation, and tickets to the event, with a chance to take part in the thrilling $100,000 Putt competition.

Seven Network Director of Sport, Chris Jones said: “The LIV Golf broadcast is absolutely world-class, and we cannot wait to embark on another huge year of action on Seven and 7plus Sport.
