DAZN, the leading global sports entertainment streaming platform, and the PGA Tour announced the creation of a series of new, dedicated ways for golf fans, including those in Southeast Asia, to access the action from the PGA Tour the biggest names in golf and the most iconic venues in the game.
DAZN’s world-leading digital technology enables the platform to deliver the PGA Tour’s rich array of content and competitions in ways that create more and better access for golf fans. PGA Tour Pass on DAZN will feature four live and exclusive feeds (Main Feed, Marquee Group, Featured Groups and Featured Holes)*, which provide the breadth and depth of choice that DAZN delivers for fans, creating more choice and better access – live or on-demand.
This new PGA Tour offering is available exclusively on DAZN, as a standalone subscription across the Middle East, North Africa and Southeast Asia**, creating a dedicated PGA Tour offer for DAZN subscribers to enjoy. The availability of the live and exclusive feeds outside of the PGA Tour’s traditional broadcast windows places PGA Tour Pass on DAZN in prime viewing time, particularly in Southeast Asia.
DAZN will also distribute a global (excl. United Kingdom, Ireland, Germany, Spain, France, Australia, and China) PGA Tour Fast Channel within DAZN’s extensive freemium offering.
DAZN is at the forefront of establishing competition, league and sport dedicated channels that can deliver the reach and exposure that rights holders and fans want. The PGA Tour Fast channel comes following the successful roll out of NFL Game Pass and the launch of FIBA’s Courtside 1891 basketball channel on the DAZN platform. DAZN is the home of European football, women’s football, boxing and MMA, and the NFL (excl. USA).
Shay Segev, DAZN Group CEO, said: “DAZN strives to give fans what they want as well as delivering reach and value for rights holders – our technology and scale allows us to do this. This deal with the PGA Tour gives golf fans across MENA and Southeast Asia fantastic choice, accessibility, and flexibility with new and exclusive ways to follow all the action on PGA Tour Pass. And the PGA Tour Fast Channel, which will be a core element of DAZN’s freemium offer, will create even greater opportunities for more DAZN users to enjoy the PGA Tour.
