Network Seven have secured the broadcasting rights to the US Masters golf tournament after Channel Ten’s tenure had expired.
All rumours – and actions - suggested that Ten and OneHD had given up on broadcasting golf, and were not going to extend their rights to broadcast the World Golf Championships and US Masters in 2014.
The rumours have proved correct with The Australian reporting yesterday that Channel Seven has secured a (multi-year) deal to broadcast Adam Scott’s defence at the 2014 US Masters after some competitive bidding with at least one other network (let’s assume it was Nine):
The multi-year deal brings the US Masters to Seven for the first time since the 1980s, when Nine secured the rights, losing them to Network Ten six years ago.
