Following its agreement with ESPN in November to become the network’s exclusive official sportsbook and odds provider, DraftKings has now taken over the watch-and-bet stream previously operated by ESPN Bet.
DraftKings has been confirmed as the betting provider for the PGA Tour’s live betting stream on ESPN, with the broadcaster promising expanded coverage across 12 tournaments in 2026.
Following its agreement with ESPN in November to become the network’s exclusive official sportsbook and odds provider, DraftKings has now taken over the watch-and-bet stream previously operated by ESPN Bet. ESPN Bet had been named as the original partner last January, but the arrangement came to an end when Penn Entertainment and ESPN terminated their 10-year partnership in November.
The PGA Tour LIVE Betcast will launch in 2026 with the WM Phoenix Open, taking place from February 5–8 at TPC Scottsdale. The number of tournaments included in the stream has doubled from six last year to 12 this season.
Expanded golf betting coverage
Scott Warfield, vice president of gaming at the PGA Tour, said:
“The PGA Tour is pleased to present more than 400 hours of live betting coverage in 2026 alongside our collaborators at ESPN and DraftKings.
“Building on the success of last year’s feed, we are excited to further expand this season with the support of DraftKings and its world-class golf product, as fans will have a host of new betting markets and storylines to follow as they watch along with the broadcast.”
Stephanie Sherman, chief marketing officer at DraftKings, added:
“Our collaboration with the PGA Tour and ESPN reflects a shared, forward-looking approach to fan engagement.
“For those who see betting as part of their entertainment experience, by integrating our industry-leading golf offerings into PGA Tour LIVE Betcast, we’re creating a more immersive, real-time way to follow the action from the first tee shot to the final putt, while fostering a sense of connection and community around the sport.”
Additional tournaments confirmed for the stream include The Genesis Invitational at The Riviera Country Club in Pacific Palisades, with coverage concluding at the season-ending TOUR Championship at East Lake Golf Club.
