The Golf Channel is to televise every LPGA Tour event in 2026, and for the first time in the network’s 30-plus year history, every round of its coverage will be presented live across the US.
The 30-plus event schedule will have live coverage across Golf Channel and select rounds on CNBC to provide live national TV coverage for the LPGA Tour next season.
The LPGA has also announced a new partnership with FM, Golf Channel and Trackman to enhance production and technology for LPGA Tour coverage, including slow-motion cameras, drone cameras, and additional microphones.
Tom Knapp, EVP and general manager, Golf Channel, said: “2026 will be a great year for LPGA Tour viewers as we will televise every single LPGA Tour event and coverage of every round will be live across the country, which is a direct result of Golf Channel and CNBC both being a part of the VERSANT portfolio.
“Additionally, we’ve worked together with the LPGA Tour and our partners at FM and Trackman to enhance our production, adding more technology to our telecasts as we continue to be the proud home of the LPGA Tour and showcase the best women’s golfers on the planet every single week.”
LPGA Commissioner Craig Kessler said: “This commitment from FM, Trackman and Golf Channel is a game-changer for our athletes, our fans, our partners and our Tour. It accelerates everything we’ve been working toward — elevating how everyone will experience the LPGA every single week and expanding the ways we showcase the world-class talent inside the ropes.
“Starting in 2026, fans will immediately see and feel the difference: more cameras, better technology, richer storytelling and more ways to appreciate the unbelievable skill of our players, fully live. We’re grateful for the shared vision and investment from FM, Trackman and Golf Channel. This is a major step forward for the women’s game, and it’s only the beginning. The next chapter for the LPGA is going to be something special.”
Full programming details about Golf Channel’s coverage of the 2026 LPGA Tour schedule will be announced in the coming weeks.
