Live streaming feed to provide 40+ hours of featured group coverage
First of four LPGA Tour events on ESPN+ this season
Part of two-year agreement with ESPN
THE WOODLANDS, Texas, April 15, 2024 – ESPN+ will stream featured group coverage of The Chevron Championship, the first major championship of the 2024 LPGA Tour season. Fans will be able to watch more than 40 hours of live coverage of the featured groups from approximately 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. ET on Thursday, April 18, and Friday, April 19, and from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET on Saturday, April 20, and Sunday, April 21.
The Chevron Championship on ESPN+ will feature a dedicated featured groups feed, showcasing two featured groups from both the morning and afternoon waves on each tournament day. Fans can expect in-depth commentary and analysis from renowned hosts and analysts, enhancing the viewing experience.
Will Haskett will headline the coverage alongside analyst Gerina Mendoza, with on-course reports and live player interviews conducted by Hally Leadbetter, Chantel McCabe and Hope Barnett. Additionally, popular golf “fanalysts” from No Laying Up will provide supplementary coverage during the broadcasts, offering fresh, engaging perspectives on the tournament action.
The Chevron Championship on ESPN+ is part of a two-year deal announced in November 2023 in which ESPN+ will present live featured group coverage of eight LPGA Tour tournaments through the 2025 season. The first event under the new agreement was the 2023 CME Group Tour Championship last fall, and The Chevron Championship this week is the first of four LPGA Tour events on ESPN+ this season.
This latest deal continues a longstanding relationship between the LPGA Tour and ESPN.
- In 2022, ESPN+ streamed the Kroger Queen City Championship presented by P&G and the Walmart NW Arkansas Championship presented by P&G.
- ESPN televised a schedule of regular LPGA Tour events from 1979-2009, and ABC covered the CME Group Tour Championship from 2015-2018.
- ESPN aired the first two rounds of the AIG British Open from 1982-2002 and all four rounds from 2010-2015, as well as the first two rounds of the U.S. Women’s Open from 1982-2014.
- The first golf ever televised on ESPN was the LPGA Sahara Open on Sept. 8, 1979, ESPN’s second day on air.
The pairings for featured groups at The Chevron Championship will be announced on Tuesday, April 16, when pairings and tee times are finalized. The remaining slate of LPGA Tour events on ESPN+ this season will be announced later this year.
