Golf: The R&A and Sky Sports extend partnership

The R&A and Sky Sports have extended their partnership through 2028.

The agreement will see Sky Sports continue to provide coverage of The Open, AIG Women’s Open and The R&A’s amateur championships and international matches, including The Amateur, The Women’s Amateur, Walker Cup and Curtis Cup.

“We are delighted to be able to extend our relationship with The R&A, as Sky Sports continues to be the home for the biggest golf tournaments in the world, including all the Majors this year,” said Jonathan Licht, Managing Director Sky Sports.

“The Open and the AIG Women’s Open are two iconic championships and centre-pieces of any sporting summer for fans. We look forward to continuing to offer our award-winning coverage across our Sky Sports platforms.”

In 2016, Sky Sports won a BAFTA for its coverage of The 145th Open at Royal Troon across a dedicated channel, bringing fans every shot and great moment from the world-renowned championship.
