Our readers will be happy to know that FanCode, India’s premier digital sports streaming platform, has secured a landmark two-year exclusive broadcast deal with the PGA TOUR. This partnership enables Indian audiences to stream over 40 events annually, including marquee tournaments from the FedEx Cup regular season and FedEx Cup Fall, alongside select events from the PGA TOUR Champions (Senior Tour).
The PGA TOUR was previously shown across the Indian subcontinent by pay-television broadcaster Eurosport, but that deal came to an end in 2023, and prior to that, it was shown by pay-television operator Neo Sports. The PGA TOUR did not have a broadcast deal in India last year.
According to FanCode co-founder Yannick Colaco, the deal ensures Indian viewers premium access to golf’s iconic tournaments and elite players, delivering an immersive experience directly to their fingertips. In a market where the sport has traditionally garnered a niche following, this move signifies a concerted effort to elevate its profile.
While the tour currently lacks direct representation from India, three players with Indian heritage—Aaron Rai, Sahith Theegala, and Akshay Bhatia—who are all PGA TOUR winners, may inspire a deeper connection with Indian audiences, further fueling the sport’s growth in the country.
The deal follows FanCode’s successful streaming of three unofficial PGA TOUR events—the Hero World Challenge, Grant Thornton Invitational, and PNC Championship—in December 2024. These tournaments offered a prelude to what fans can expect: high-quality coverage and access to an unparalleled roster of golfing talent.
FanCode’s digital platform is accessible via mobile apps, smart TVs, web browsers, and through Amazon Prime Video channels.
The 2025 season commenced on January 5 with The Sentry in Hawaii and is set to conclude on November 23 with the RSM Classic, followed by additional events like the PNC Championship in December.
