The CW has reached a multiyear agreement for the TV rights to LIV Golf events, a deal that will raise the U.S. profile of the controversial Saudi-backed league. LIV Golf — a deep-pocketed upstart rival of the PGA — is backed by the Public Investment Fund, owned by Saudi Arabia. Instead, it will sell commercial time for the events and share the revenue with LIV Golf. The network will carry live coverage of 14 LIV Golf events on Saturdays and Sundays starting Feb. 24 at Mayakoba Resort's El Camaleón course in Mexico. LIV Golf will handle production of the events and provide its own on-air talent, including well-known former CBS golf analyst David Feherty.
