By signing this new agreement, the DP World Tour has expanded its distribution in the DACH (Germany, Austria, and Switzerland) region. Following this agreement, viewers will be able to watch the worldwide sports and entertainment platform broadcast all DP World Tour tournaments.
DAZN and Sky Germany will now have co-exclusive live subscription OTT rights. The Porsche European Open in Hamburg, which takes place this week, will be the first tournament open to DAZN subscribers.
DAZN has also secured the rights to broadcast delayed highlights of the 2023 Ryder Cup, which will be held at the Marco Simone Golf and Country Club in Rome from September 29 to October 1. In the run-up to the event, DAZN will also air highlights on golf’s greatest team competition.
Richard Bunn, Managing Director of European Tour Productions, said, “DAZN are growing their golf coverage – tapping into growing consumer demand as golf’s popularity continues to rise – and we are delighted that they have focused on the DP World Tour for their first venture into men’s professional golf. Together we can further bolster the coverage we are offering our fan base across Germany, Austria and Switzerland.”
