A MAJOR sporting event will be shown live in the UK for free.
And here’s how you can watch it.
Sports fans will get to stream a major event for free in the UK
Punters usually have to pay through the nose for various subscriptions so they can watch their favourite sports.
But golf fans are in for a treat this year.
That’s because LIV Golf will reportedly stream for free in the UK.
i News claims the controversial competition secured just one deal in the US when selling their TV rights.
The Saudi Arabian-backed tour divided golfers when organisers splashed out on securing big names like Phil Mickelson and Dustin Johnson from the PGA.
But it has struggled to secure broadcasting deals, with the i claiming TV companies were put off by scheduling and political issues.
It means fans in the UK and around the world, bar the US, can watch the first event of the new season for free when it kicks off in Mexico next Thursday.
The event will be available on the LIV Golf Plus app, and will also be streamed on LIVGolfPlus.com.

LIV Golf failed to secure TV deals outside the US for the new season
Will Staeger, LIV Golf Chief Media Officer, said: “The introduction of the LIV Golf Plus streaming app ensures fans around the world will receive direct access to live and on-demand coverage of our league’s groundbreaking launch.
“In keeping with the content distribution strategy of other major sports leagues, the LIV Golf Plus streaming app allows more access to our content from more places for more people, spanning the traditional golf consumer to the casual sports and entertainment viewer discovering golf for the first time.
“We are thrilled to bring our innovative coverage of the game’s biggest stars including Cam Smith, Dustin Johnson, Brooks Koepka and Phil Mickelson to the sport’s global fanbase and are excited to grow our content offering on LIV Golf Plus in the coming seasons to drive deeper connections between viewers and our athletes in every corner of the world.”.
Meanwhile, Conrad Wiacek, head of sport analysis at GlobalData, told the i: “If you look at the WSL [Women’s Super League], look at their strategy, part of that was free-to-air and that built an audience.
“Sky and the BBC now show WSL coverage because they’re trying to get as wide an audience as possible. The 100 is another example of this, free-to-air and coverage on pay TV.
“So you’re building that audience, you’re reaching as many people as you can through free-to-air, but you’ve also got potentially a bit of money coming in from the pay TV side.
“My gut feel is that LIV Golf have gone to market, they’ve signed all these big names, and they’ve gone ‘Well, of course, people are going to pay for this’ and the argument against that from a broadcaster, Sky especially, is ‘Okay, who’s your audience?’.
“LIV will say ‘Well, we don’t have one yet.’ and Sky will say ‘Well, come back to us when you do’ because in essence Sky will use that audience to sell advertising.
“There’s an entire economy behind media rights that I think LIV might have misjudged.”
Frequently Asked Questions
How can I improve golf scores?
These simple tips will make your golf game more enjoyable.
- Do more practice and less play. If you want to get better at something, practice more. Playing too much means you’re practicing bad habits.
- When you feel good, play. There are times when you just don’t feel like playing golf. Don’t force your self to do things you don’t like. Instead, find ways to make golf enjoyable again.
- Pause. Golfers often take breaks during their round to stretch, walk around, eat lunch, etc. You can relax your body and stay focused while on the course by taking breaks.
- Water! It’s easy to lose track of how many drinks you’ve had while out on the course. So make sure to drink enough water to keep you hydrated. You will feel refreshed and ready for your next round of golf if you drink plenty of water before, throughout, and after the game.
- You must eat right. Eating healthy foods such as fruits, vegetables, lean protein, whole grains, and low fat dairy products will give you energy and allow you to perform well on the course.
- Stay hydrated. The best way to stay hydrated is to drink lots of water. It is recommended that you drink eight glasses of fluids per day. This includes water from beverages (such as coffee), as well as plain water.
- Make sure to warm up. Before hitting the first shot in a round, warm up by walking or jogging for five minutes. You should then be flexible and agile.
- Keep your head down. It’s important that you keep your eyes focused on the ball when you tee-off. Do not look at the ball or pay attention to where it lands. Instead, focus your attention on the hole.
- Swing with proper form. Different people might interpret the same thing as proper form. But you should try to avoid swinging at your target. Instead, aim for the ball to be in the middle of your club face.
- The process is what matters. Although there are many factors that influence a successful golf swing you should be able to focus on the process. For example, if you have trouble keeping your hands still, then focus on relaxing your grip. Or, if you struggle to maintain balance, then focus on maintaining good posture.

Once you’ve mastered this step, you’ll want to focus on improving your strength and flexibility. Start off slowly, working up to longer distances. You’ll find your game becomes more consistent as you strive for higher scores.

The same goes for if your goal is to hit the target further.

Statistics

- This means as much as 50% of your practice time. (practical-golf.com)
- By adding 10 more yards to all their golf shots amateurs will increase the percentage of greens they hit by 8 – 10%. (golfinsideruk.com)
- However, if you go in thinking that you will get all the way down to a 10, you will likely stunt your progress because your expectations are way out of line. (practical-golf.com)
- Shot Scope’s mapping data reveals 72% of danger is at the front of the green (sand or water), whereas there’s only 28% behind. (todaysgolfer.co.uk)

How To
How can you improve your home golf game?
You can practice anywhere you like!
You can use whatever equipment you like, including a putter or a full set. There are many options for golf training devices online. These include putting trainers and swing analyzers.
You can improve your golf game at the office by practicing regularly. Find a course close to your home or workplace to practice. This lets you practice when you want, without the need to wait for a partner or wait until you return home.
Practice makes perfect, so if you don’t play often enough, try practicing once a week or every two weeks. If you play often, try playing twice per month or every other month. You don’t have to practice for hours; it doesn’t make a difference how frequently you practice.
Make sure the club you buy fits you well. You could inflict injury on yourself or cause damage to your favorite golf club. Be sure to check reviews before you purchase anything. Take a look at the grip size that you prefer.
Don’t forget to properly warm up before hitting the ball. When you first start playing, you might not know exactly how much force you should apply when swinging a club. Warming up is a great way to learn how strong your ball needs to be to travel certain distances.
