Saudi-funded LIV Golf has a television partner five weeks before the start of its second season. The CW will air tournaments on the weekend and stream the first rounds on The CW’s app. The next season of LIV golf League starts Feb. 24-26 on the Gulf coast of Mexico at Mayakoba, which hosted a fall PGA Tour event. The league plans a 14-event schedule this year, though only eight stops have been announced.. Still be to be determined is how many additional PGA or European tour players will join the league. LIV has spent some $1 billion in signing major champions such as Dustin Johnson, Phil Mickelson, Bryson DeChambeau, Brooks Koepka and Sergio Garcia. The competition is over 54 holes with a shotgun start and $25 million prize funds at each stop, with $5 million devoted to team results. The Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia owns 93% of L IV Golf. The network dates to 2006 and was named after its founding co-owners (CBS and Warner Bros..). Nexstar Media Group acquired 75% of the network in October, with Paramount Global and Warner. Bros. Discovery maintaining minority ownership. It is the fifth-largest U.S. network and of those five has the second-youngest audience based on media age, trailing only Fox. It had the USGA contract — Norman was its first lead analyst — until an arrangement to sell that to NBC.
