According to a press release, the deal coincides with the February start of the LIV Golf League's third season in February. Fox says that all three days of LIV Golf tournament competition throughout the season will air on its family of networks.
More than half of the schedule will air on Fox or FS1. Select events will move to FS2, Fox Business, or the Fox Sports App. Additionally, all of the season coverage will air on the Fox Sports App and to LIV Golf+ app subscribers.
According to Fox Sports, the LIV Golf in-house team will continue to handle the unique broadcast style featuring live leaderboards and enhanced drone coverage. Fox Sports says that the broadcasts will continue to show "nearly twice as many golf shots per hour" than traditional coverage.

Arlo White — the veteran broadcaster who also appeared in "Ted Lasso" — will continue to deliver play-by-play alongside analysts David Feherty and Jerry Foltz. Dom Boulet and Su-Ann Heng will provide updates from the course.
The pre- and post-round shows featuring Christian Crosby, Rachel Drummond, Jerry Foltz, Su-Ann Heng, and Dom Boulet will be available on the Fox Sports platforms throughout the season. They will also air on the LIV Golf+ app.
"We are thrilled to partner with Fox Sports, one of the preeminent broadcast networks in the world," said LIV Golf CEO Scott O'Neil in a statement. "LIV Golf is getting bigger and bolder, and this relationship signals the next phase of growth as our League joins the company of the nation's premier sports leagues and conferences.
"I want to thank the Fox Sports team who share our vision for the future of golf, a new model that is redefining how the sport is experienced. LIV Golf is drawing a younger, more active, and tech-savvy fan base, and as our players and teams prepare for LIV Golf's biggest season yet, this agreement will take our broadcast to new heights."
The new golf league takes a different approach to the longtime sport. Each tournament on the schedule features 54 holes played over three rounds. These tournaments feature unique starts in which the players begin to play simultaneously on different holes across the respective courses.
This league also features a mix of team and individual competition as some of the biggest names in golf battle for trophies, prestige, and prize money. Some prominent participants include Jon Rahm, Cameron Smith, Bryson DeChambeau, Brooks Koepka, Phil Mickelson, Dustin Johnson, Sergio Garcia, and Joaquin Niemann.
