PONTE VEDRA BEACH, FL – The PGA Tour has expanded its agreement with Twitter to live stream nearly 140 hours of live competition across 28 tournaments during the 2018-19 PGA Tour season.
The multi-year agreement will see the first 60 to 90 minutes from the morning hours of all four rounds of PGA Tour Live’s over-the-top subscription window streamed internationally free of charge.
The addition of Saturday and Sunday morning coverage will result in the most live PGA Tour content ever offered on Twitter. New feature Fan Vote Fridays will allow fans to vote, via Twitter, to determine one of the two featured groups that will be showcased during Friday’s coverage, for each tournament streamed on Twitter. Fans will also have pre-tournament access with live streams from the driving range each week.
Twitter will begin live streaming at the Desert Classic in Palm Springs, California, on January 17-18. The four-round coverage on Twitter will begin at the Farmers Insurance Open in San Diego and conclude in August at the season-ending Tour Championship in Atlanta, where the FedExCup Champion will be crowned.
The live coverage will be available globally on Twitter and can be found via @PGATOUR, with promotional support and additional content via @GOLFTV, the PGA Tour’s newly launched media partnership with Discovery Communications.
