    LIV Golf is reportedly adding three-time DP World Tour winner Nicolas Colsaerts to its television booth. The Saudi-backed league is gearing up for its new season, which will start next month. The league has already made several changes so far.

    ​The new season will feature some new faces, and the format has also changed. The series is now expected to add a new name to its broadcasting booth. As reported by golf analyst Josh Carpenter on Friday, LIV Golf is looking to add Colsaerts to the television booth. He shared a post on his X (formerly Twitter) account with a caption:

    ​”A media nugget: LIV Golf is expected to add Nicolas Colsaerts to its television booth. He’s done a fair amount of broadcast work since scaling back from playing and has become very good at it IMO. Unclear if LIV will move to a four-man booth or put someone on the ground as another walker. Feherty and Foltz both excelled as walking reporters in the past”


    Nicolas Colsaerts enjoyed an amazing career playing on the DP World Tour. His maiden win came on the circuit in 2011 at the Volvo China Open. He followed that with a win at the 2012 Volvo World Match Play Championship. He won his third DP World Tour event at the Amundi Open de France in 2019.

    LIV Golf Secures Deal With Sky Sports

    LIV Golf has signed a broadcasting deal with Sky Deutschland for the upcoming season. The senior vice president of sports rights and commercialization at Sky Deutschland spoke about the deal earlier this month. He said (via LIV Golf):

    “With long-term exclusive rights to all four men’s majors, comprehensive coverage of the most significant women’s events, and the addition of the LIV Golf League and the Asian Tour, Sky Sport Golf will continue to be the leading destination for golf fans in Germany.

    “LIV Golf’s global schedule and distinctive team and individual competition format offer fans access to the world’s leading, legendary, and emerging golf stars across iconic venues and diverse international markets. In the year ahead, our customers can look forward to innovatively produced events and engagement with many of the world’s most compelling players,” he added.

    Notably, the 2026 LIV Golf season will start with the opening event in Riyadh. The tournament is scheduled to be held from February 4 to 7 at the Riyadh Golf Club. Following that, the next stop for LIV Golf is the LIV Golf Adelaide event, which will take place from February 12 to 15 at The Grange Golf Club.
