Jupiter Golf Network Co., Ltd. (Koto-ku, Tokyo; President: Hideki Kimura), operator of the CS channel 'Golf Network,' will broadcast all four rounds of five major overseas men's and women's golf tournaments in 2026.
The lineup includes three men's tournaments: the 108th PGA Championship (May 14-17), the 126th US Open (June 18-21), and the 154th The Open Championship (July 16-19). The women's lineup features two tournaments: the 81st US Women's Open presented by Ally (June 4-7) and the 50th AIG Women's Open (July 30-August 2).
Last year's men's majors saw Scottie Scheffler dominate, winning both the PGA Championship and The Open Championship. This year, expectations are high for Hideki Matsuyama to claim his next major title since his historic 2021 Masters victory.
In the women's majors, Miyu Yamashita achieved her long-awaited first major title at last year's AIG Women's Open, winning by two strokes over Minami Katsu and others. At the US Women's Open, Japanese players such as Rio Takeda, Mao Saigo, and Hinako Shibuno were in contention for the title. Continued success from Japanese female athletes is highly anticipated this year.
As a dedicated golf channel, Golf Network will provide extended live coverage that only a specialist can offer. This includes everything from the qualifying rounds to the moment the winner is decided on the final day, as well as interviews and award ceremonies.
