CW Network will air matches from Saudi-owned golf league LIV

The CW Network said Thursday it will air 14 events from LIV Golf — the Saudi Arabia-backed pro golf tour — on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, starting February 24 under a new broadcast partnership deal. 

The network, which is partially owned by CBS parent company Paramount Global, didn't disclose financial specifics of the multiyear deal. 

The LIV-CW announcement marks the league's first U.S. broadcast home, exposing it to American audiences who have historically only had exposure to professional golf from the PGA Tour on CBS, NBC and the Golf Channel. The deal also gives CW exclusive broadcast rights for a mainstream sports league, a first for the network, president Dennis Miller said in a statement.
