The PGA Tour is sticking with CBS and NBC, at least through 2021.
A tour spokesperson confirmed to GolfDigest.com that the organization chose not to opt out of its current television deals with the two networks, something it had the option to do as soon as 2018. The deadline to do so was Sept. 1.
The tour’s deal with Golf Channel, meanwhile, has no opt-out clause and is signed through 2021.
An earlier Sports Business Journal report said the tour had reached out to several outlets—including Fox, ESPN and Turner—to gauge interest in a potential deal, or in potentially helping the tour launch its own channel.
When asked earlier about the possibility of the tour creating its own network, however, commissioner Jay Monahan indicated that’s not something that is in the immediate plans.
