Sadly money talks. LIV couldn't beat them so they bought them.
I think the UK rights are a bit complicated - didn't Eurosport win the US PGA I think but has ended up leasing them back to Sky? Think Sky have the European rights, whilst majors are sold separately. Like cricket has been though golf is now pretty much in the wildnerness as far as exposure on UK TV is concerned - indeed even more so now considering the current cricket deal with the BBC gives the sport it's highest profile on FTA since the 2005 Ashes.
