SEN to bring Blitz Golf to life this summer
Sports Entertainment Network • November 28th, 2024 12:37 pm
Sports Entertainment Network (SEN) is excited to announce its broadcast partnership with the Blitz Golf League, bringing a bold new era of golf to screens across the country this summer.
SEN’s television arm, Rainmaker, will bring Blitz Golf - the T20 cricket of golf – to life across the summer, reimagining the sport with a format that’s faster, louder and bolder.
Packed with fan-focused entertainment, Blitz Golf delivers thrilling action and a star-studded player lineup, which this season will include Australian cricket icon Glenn Maxwell, Melbourne Storm’s Ryan Papenhuyzen, AFL talent Jordan Dawson, and Melbourne Cup-winning jockey Damien Oliver.
Blitz Golf events feature a high-energy, three-hour format, centered around the Stadium Hole, combining progressively shorter rounds with cuts that ramp up the pressure and excitement. Off the course, fans can enjoy food, drinks, live music, and activities for all ages, making it a festival-like experience.
SEN will broadcast the 2024/25 Blitz Golf League nationally via SEN TV on the SEN app and website, giving Australians free access to this innovative format. Rainmaker will handle all elements of the broadcast, seamlessly combining dynamic in-studio segments with live footage from the events to produce two live broadcasts and a comprehensive suite of highlights.
Richard Simkiss, CEO of Rainmaker, said:
“The Blitz Golf format is unique, and the atmosphere they create is incredible—that’s exactly what we want to bring to life through our digital platforms. With such an exciting mix of players - from pro golfers to Aussie sports icons - it’s a game-changer for golf fans and newcomers alike.”
Blitz Golf CEO and Founder, Simon Zybek, is equally enthusiastic.
“We’re excited to see the Blitz Golf format coming to a screen near you! SEN’s expertise in golf broadcasts is second to none, and I can’t wait to see this partnership deliver a broader audience for our events.”
The Blitz Golf League tees off at North Adelaide Golf Course on Friday 20 December, before heading to Phillip Island, Brisbane and Perth.
