MUMBAI: German broadcaster Sky Deutschland has retained the broadcast rights, internet, IPTV and mobile rights for US PGA Tour for Germany and Austria until the end of 2015.

Sky Deutschland SVP Sports Burkhard Weber said, "The extension of the rights to the US PGA Tour means that Sky will remain the number one golf broad-caster for years to come. Martin Kaymer may have moved from the European to the American tour, but his fans in Germany will still be able to watch him play in all tournaments live, exclusively on Sky."

The agreement comprises a total of 40 events, including highlights such as The Players Championship in May, the Tour Championship by Coca Cola in September and The Presidents Cup in October, the biennial tournament in which the US competes against the rest of the world minus Europe.

The first event of the New Year will take place from 4 to 7 January 2013 at the Hyundai Tournament of Champions in Kapalua, Hawaii. Sky will be on hand to offer over 12 hours of live coverage in HD.

With Sky Go, Sky customers also have the chance to experience all US PGA Tour tour-naments live when they are on the go. All broadcasts are available live and some are shown on-demand at skygo.sky.de, and on the iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch and the Xbox 360.
