2028 TV contract
The Royal R&A (R&A) and Sky Sports have teamed to invest £200 million in golf over ten years. The investment will support the growth of the sport through advocacy for sustainability, governance activities, engagement programs, and the staging of inspirational golf championships.
Through the collaboration, Sky Sports will be able to provide excellent live coverage of the R&A championships, generating cash to assist the organization’s broader efforts to promote golf globally and keep it alive for present and future generations.
