FOX Sports Extends Asian Broadcast Rights of Masters to 2016

FOX Sports has extended its coverage of the Masters in a new multi-year deal.

Fresh from a renewal of the exclusive cable, satellite, terrestrial and multi-media broadcast rights of The Masters in 18 countries across Asia to 2016, FOX Sports have upped the ante for this year’s tournament with an even bigger coverage of the first golf major of the year.

The network has scored a coup with 2005 US Open winner, Michael Campbell, as well as Jay Sajamark, a veteran PGA Tour commentator and presenter, and Tim Low, a Singaporean golf professional, joining the FOX Sports presentation team for The Masters Tournament, to give golf fans in Asia more than 28 hours of LIVE and special programming. In addition, commentary will be available in English, Cantonese, Mandarin, and for the first time, in Thai.

 “Our renewal of The Masters Tournament is an affirmation of FOX Sports as the premier destination for sports fans in Asia”, said Rohit D’Silva, Senior Vice President, Content & Communication for Sports at FOX International Channels Asia.  “We’re focused on delivering the best possible viewing experience and so are pleased to be offering top tier programming, enhanced overall coverage and in multiple languages for the 2014 Masters, and look forward to continually improve on future editions.” 

In addition to catching the action on FOX Sports and in high-definition on FOX Sports Plus HD, fans in Hong Kong, Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore will be able to catch additional content LIVE and on-demand on FOX Sports Play at www.foxplayasia.com, or with the FOX Sports Play app on their Android and iOS devices. Alternatively, fans who have subscribed to FOX Sports Mobile may also follow the action streamed LIVE to their mobile phones.  Fans can also catch highlights on the 24/7 sports news channel, FOX Sports News.

Fox’s coverage of the Masters is set to begin today.
