PGA of America extends IMG’s international rights

The PGA of America golf governing body has extended its international broadcast rights partnership with the IMG Media agency in a new deal that starts immediately and will run until the end of 2016.

IMG will continue to be the PGA’s exclusive international broadcast rights distribution partner for tournaments including the PGA Championship and Senior PGA Championship, and US-hosted editions of the Ryder Cup.

IMG will also continue to produce official PGA Championship highlights programming.

IMG has already distributed rights for the upcoming 2012 Ryder Cup in Illinois to 140 countries outside the US, UK and continental Europe.

The PGA of America and IMG have been partners for more than 25 years.
