PGA Tour & ESPN

Martee

Not sure I understand how this would impact the Masters and the Golf Channel...

I 'hope' I don't understand it either. It sounds like expanded coverage (streaming) versus 'exclusive'
extra $$ standard coverage. Not sure. 🤨

Martee Masters is not PGA Tour, so no impact

I don't get plus, screw them.

It looks like this will be replacing the PGA Tour Live content that was available online previously. This is in addition to the regular broadcasts for most of the events.

Golf programming on ESPN+ also includes The Masters (115 hours of live coverage, plus 50 hours of The Masters Films from 1960-2020),

azgreg Sorry, should have said they show Thurs/Fri and some shows. Not weekend.

When network television coverage begins, the four streams will pivot to two featured groups and two featured holes so fans can continue to engage with PGA TOUR LIVE on ESPN+ in addition to the telecast.
So I don’t think it will interfere with regular Golf Channel and NBC/CBS stuff
