Ryder Cup: BBC extend broadcast rights deal with European Tour until 2022.
The BBC have announced that they have agreed to extend their deal with the European Tour to host Ryder Cup TV highlights, radio commentary and clips on the BBC Sport website until 2022.
In addition to retaining rights to cover the 2020 Ryder Cup at Whistling Straits in Wisconin in 2020, the BBC will continue to show highlights of the BMW PGA Championship and Aberdeen Standard Investments Scottish Open. They will now also broadcasat highlights of the season-ending Race to Dubai event – the DP World Tour Championship Dubai – until 2022.
“We are pleased our audiences can continue to enjoy such a special event,” said Barbara Slater, Director of BBC Sport.
Rufus Hack, the European Tour’s chief content officer, said: “The Ryder Cup is one of global sport’s most-watched events and this extension to our long-term relationship with the BBC means viewers in the UK will be able to continue to follow it across the BBC.
“We’re delighted viewers can also follow three of our Rolex Series events, including our season-ending DP World Tour Championship, Dubai.”
