RTE Secures Multi-Year Irish Open Deal, Lands Ryder Cup Highlights Rights
RTÉ has solidified its position as Ireland's free-to-air golf broadcast leader by signing a new multi-year deal for the Amgen Irish Open and acquiring highlights rights for the 2027 Ryder Cup at Adare Manor.
The agreement covers video, audio, and online rights for the Irish Open, extending RTÉ's long-standing relationship with one of Ireland's premier sporting events. The broadcaster also delivered live coverage of the KPMG Women's Irish Open this year.
RTÉ has secured highlights rights to the 2027 Ryder Cup, which will be held at Adare Manor from September 17th to 19th, ensuring that Irish viewers can watch free-to-air coverage of golf's biggest team event when it returns to Ireland. The agreement includes television broadcast and 30-day catch-up rights in the Republic of Ireland, as well as social media clip rights.
RTÉ Head of Sport Declan McBennett stated, 'Given the drama, excitement, and world-class field the Amgen Irish Open now attracts, we are delighted to renew our broadcast agreement and bring more great live sport to Irish audiences free-to-air.' He added that incorporating highlights from the Ryder Cup will give RTÉ audiences even more access to memorable sporting moments on Irish soil.
