For a long time, technical issues and different streaming platforms have made it difficult for golf fans to enjoy the sport. Now, one of the biggest streaming platforms is bringing both the PGA Tour and LIV Golf under one roof.

YouTube TV’s latest update was the launch of a brand new plan. This plan will focus solely on sports. At the moment, the current base package starts at $82.99. However, YouTube TV has assured the fans that customers can avail the new package at a cost lower than the base package price. But the price amount has not been disclosed.

The announcement came as a boon for the golf fans. The PGA Tour used to be broadcast on ESPN+, while LIV Golf was broadcast on different platforms in different countries. This YouTube TV package reportedly comes with an all-access pass to golf. That will include Fox Sports and Golf Channel, which are LIV Golf and the PGA Tour’s TV broadcast partners in the USA, respectively. This means that fans can now watch LIV Golf, the PGA Tour, and all of the major championships all in the same place. 

As the initial reports are coming in, viewers can access broadcasting channels such as the ABC, CBS, Fox, and NBC. In addition to all these, channels like ESPN networks, Fox Sports, NBC Sports Network, and USA Sports/Golf Channel. The new launch has also promised to bring in 10 ‘genre-specific’ bundles to its consumers each year. Now then, such a decision comes right after YouTube TV had a significant downfall, losing a big part of its business to ESPN and Disney. After all, they still cannot forget the horrendous coverage of the 2025 Ryder Cup.

Broadcast issues leave golf fans angry after limited coverage in the Ryder Cup

After one of the most-awaited events of the year unfolded on the greens of Bethpage Black, fans could catch the action live only for an hour on day 1. Fans missed most of the foursome session, which eventually left them extremely disappointed and angry. This year, apart from the technical difficulties, fans were enraged by the plethora of commercial breaks during the event. More so because this isn’t the first time that the pro golf has dealt with broadcasting issues.

In 2024, while the broadcast continued for the whole time, cameras did not capture many important moments from tournaments. Or, the broadcast was cut off for commercials. This left fans extremely infuriated.

Even Graeme McDowell exclaimed at one point, “Coverage driving me insane already. Think we are on the 5th commercial break. May have to flip on the SkySports.” While the US audience struggled to witness the Ryder Cup action live properly, it was a better experience for the British. Now, with YouTube TV set to broadcast golf, do you think from here on out it will be a pleasant viewing experience for fans?
