FanCode will broadcast over 40 PGA Tour events from the FedEx Cup regular season and FedEx Cup Fall each year through the two-year deal.

The deal also includes some tournaments from the PGA Tour Champions seniors tour.
The feeds will be provided in English, with FanCode able to provide local-language commentary if it so chooses.
Speaking on the partnership, FanCode co-founder Yannick Colaco stated: “This deal reinforces FanCode’s commitment to offering a diverse range of sports content to our audience. Golf fans in India can now enjoy premium access to the sport’s most iconic tournaments and top players, all at their fingertips.”
Thierry Pascal, PGA Tour senior vice-president of international media, added: “We have found a perfect partner in FanCode with India being an important market for golf that features a growing community of passionate fans.
“Through this collaboration, we are excited to showcase PGA Tour players and events to Indian fans, offering them high-quality golfing action year-round. We look forward to working closely with FanCode to further grow the sport’s popularity across the country.”
The 2025 PGA Tour began on January 5 with The Sentry in Hawaii, US, and will run through the November 23 RSM Classic, with further PGA Tour-sanctioned unofficial events such as the PNC Championship being staged in December.
This agreement follows FanCode’s broadcast of a trio of these unofficial events – the Hero World Challenge, Grant Thornton Invitational, and PNC Championship – in December 2024.
Although the PGA Tour does not feature any Indian-born representation, 22-year-old rising US golfer Akshay Bhatia, born to Indian parents, already boasts two PGA Tour wins and will be of interest to Indian audiences.
This move expands FanCode’s golf offering, which currently features the European Tour (known as the DP World Tour) and its annual Indian Open.
In 2024, FanCode also showcased events from the LIV Golf tour.
