Netflix looking for events to attract new subscribers
Sky Sports is in advanced talks over signing a new six-year deal for exclusive UK live rights for golf’s US Open. Sky’s current contract expires after next year’s Championship at Shinnecock Hills and it is expecting to beat off competition from other broadcasters, including Netflix, to secure an extension.
The new deal will cement Sky’s position as the home of televised golf in the UK, as it currently has the rights for all the men’s and women’s majors, the Ryder Cup, the PGA Tour and the DP World Tour. The PGA Tour deal also expires next year and Sky is expected to seek an extension.
