Masters Tournament to be broadcast live in the MENA region
DAZN has obtained the rights to showcase the first Major Championship of the year
Golf fans in the Middle East rejoice! Next week’s Masters Tournament will be broadcast live in the MENA region through DAZN’s PGA Tour Pass.
While fans could catch live coverage of certain holes and groups on the Masters website and App, there was set to be no full live coverage for another year in the region following OSN’s decision to cut their golf broadcasts in 2019.
But that is now all about to change thanks to DAZN’s new PGA Tour Pass.
The new service, which launched earlier this week, will feature four live and exclusive feeds (Main Feed, Marquee Group, Featured Groups and Featured Holes) of PGA Tour events throughout the year, including next week’s Masters Tournament, which is the first Major Championship of the year.
Shay Segev, DAZN Group CEO, said: “DAZN strives to give fans what they want as well as delivering reach and value for rights holders – our technology and scale allows us to do this. This deal with the PGA TOUR gives golf fans across MENA and SE Asia fantastic choice, accessibility, and flexibility with new and exclusive ways to follow all the action on PGA Tour Pass. And the PGA Tour Fast Channel, which will be a core element of DAZN’s freemium offer, will create even greater opportunities for more DAZN users to enjoy the PGA Tour.”
Fans can watch on the DAZN app (PGA Tour Pass) through the following link: www.dazn.com/welcome/pgatour, and can be streamed on multiple devices including smart TV, smart stick, games consoles and mobile phones.
Prices start from AED29.99 per month for a 12-month subscription, while individual months cost AED39.99.
The Masters Tournament gets underway on April 11, with Spaniard Jon Rahm looking to defend his title against the game’s elite players, including Rory McIlroy, Scottie Scheffler, Brooks Koepka, Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson.
