BARSTOOL SPORTS TO PRODUCE FIRST KORN FERRY TOUR STREAM

The Korn Ferry Tour and Barstool Sports have announced that the sports, lifestyle and entertainment brand will exclusively stream live coverage in the U.S. of the Korn Ferry Tour’s NV5 Invitational presented by Old National Bank on July 27-30, the first streaming production of professional golf by the digital media company.

All four rounds of the NV5 Invitational presented by Old National Bank will stream live only on Barstool.tv from 3:30 p.m. ET to 6:30 p.m. ET. Hosts of the No. 1 golf podcast, Barstool Sports’ Fore Play, including Riggs, Frankie, Trent and Dan Rapaport will make appearances throughout the broadcast, as well as other Barstool Sports personalities.

Barstool Sports will co-produce the first-of-its-kind streaming event in conjunction with PGA TOUR Entertainment, which will provide production capabilities, including staffing and equipment, while Barstool Sports will lead the creative direction.

“The Korn Ferry Tour features many, many fascinating stories and incredible people,” said Riggs, co-host of Fore Play.

“Week in and week out the Korn Ferry Tour players are literally playing for their careers, and Barstool Sports is honored, excited and admittedly a bit nervous to broadcast this highstakes, world-class golf. We are putting our very best effort into providing a professional, unique and entertaining broadcast highlighting the players. We are proud to partner with the PGA TOUR in this next step; we hope this is the first of many.”
