Golf coverage on ESPN has been a regular feature of the cable sports channels' programming since soon after ESPN's launch in the United States in 1979.
ESPN broadcast the LPGA Tour from 1979 through 2009, the Senior PGA Tour from 1982 through 2000, and the PGA Tour from 1984 through 2006. Since 2022, ESPN+ has been the home of PGA Tour Live, the tour's streaming broadcast.
ESPN is the cable rightsholder for two of the men's majors - the Masters Tournament (since 2008) and the PGA Championship (since 2020). In both cases, the telecasts are produced in association with CBS Sports (which serves as the U.S. broadcast television rightsholder for both tournaments) and have incorporated talent from the network's own golf telecasts.
