"LIV Golf is getting bigger and bolder, and this relationship signals the next phase of growth as our League joins the company of the nation’s premier sports leagues and conferences.&nbsp; "I want to thank the FOX Sports team who share our vision for the future of golf, a new model that is redefining how the sport is experienced. LIV Golf is drawing a younger, more active and tech-savvy fan base, and as our players and teams prepare for LIV Golf’s biggest season yet, this agreement will take our broadcast to new heights." LIV Golf started as a breakaway league from the PGA Tour and with much scrutiny. Much of the criticism has fallen to the wayside over the last year as the league has attracted stars like Jon Rahm, Bryson DeChambeau, Brooks Koepka and Phil Mickelson.
