FanCode gets exclusive rights to broadcast PGA Championships

economictimes.indiatimes.com:

FanCode has secured exclusive broadcast rights for the upcoming PGA Championships. Indian Golf fans can exclusively watch the tournament on FanCode, the sports-focused streaming platform said on Tuesday.

The tournament will take place from 16th May — 19th May 2024, at the Valhalla Golf Course in Louisville, USA. The match play will begin at 11.30 pm IST on Thursday and Friday and 10.30 pm IST on Saturday and Sunday.

The PGA Championship is the only one of the four major men’s golf championships in the calendar year that is exclusively for professional players. It is considered as the pinnacle of golf.

This year’s PGA Championships will also be one of the rare events where all the top 100 golfers of the world will be competing.

Defending champion Brooks Koepka will be one of the seven LIV Golf players in action. He became the first LIV Golfer to win a major when he won the title last year. Scottie Scheffler’s outstanding 2024 has already led to comparisons with Tiger Woods. Jon Rahm, Rory Mcllroy will be some of the other players to look out for.

Tiger Woods famously won his fifth major and second successive PGA Championship title in 2000 at the venue. It was Woods’ third consecutive major title as well. He is at a different stage of his career currently and will look to prove critics wrong.
