Mr Hart would not confirm how much Sky’s sponsorship was worth, but they had been a naming sponsor — "the NZ Open presented by Sky Sport" — since 2020. Sky NZ head of communications Ellie Brosnahan confirmed Sky was no longer a named sponsor "but remains highly involved in the NZ Open". "We are also supporting the production partner for the event, NEP, through the Sky Sport graphics package and by providing Sky Sport presenters for the coverage." She noted this year’s coverage, from 2.30pm each day, was available across Sky’s platforms, including, for the first time, full free-to-air coverage on Sky Open.
