USA Network and Golf Channel have inked a long-term deal with the USGA that will feature live event and studio coverage of 11 championships, including the U.S. Open and U.S. Women\u2019s Open, on their networks.<\/p>\n
USA Network will present roughly 35 hours of live coverage from both the U.S. Open and U.S. Women\u2019s Open each year, while Golf Channel will have expanded live coverage of several USGA championships, including the U.S. Amateur, U.S. Women\u2019s Amateur, Walker Cup, Curtis Cup, U.S. Boys\u2019 and Girls\u2019 Junior, and U.S. Senior Women\u2019s Open and U.S. Adaptive Open.<\/p>\n
The USGA agreement, set to run through at least 2032, marks the first sports-media acquisition for Versant, the new independent media company set to be spun off from Comcast. The new elements of the deal will begin in 2027, after the end of the current agreement.<\/p>\n
NBC will continue to be the exclusive broadcast home of the U.S. Open, U.S. Women\u2019s Open and U.S. Senior Open.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe value NBCU and Versant place on the USGA brand is evident,\u201d said USGA CEO Mike Whan, \u201cand this agreement enables the USGA to further advance our mission to positively impact the game, while providing the most expansive coverage and broadest reach to showcase USGA championships.\u201d<\/p>\n
Golf Channel\u2019s \u201cLive From\u201d studio show will continue to deliver comprehensive pre- and post-round coverage on-site at the U.S. Open and U.S. Women\u2019s Open each year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"USA Network and Golf Channel have inked a long-term deal with the USGA that will feature live event…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":338941,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5311],"tags":[49,978,659],"class_list":{"0":"post-338940","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-united-states","8":"tag-united-states","9":"tag-us","10":"tag-usa"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115016859890897620","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/338940","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=338940"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/338940\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/338941"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=338940"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=338940"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=338940"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
