Netflix is eyeing live sports for the first time in the video streaming platform's history. Reports from the United States claim that Netflix is looking to broadcast a live celebrity golf tournament after failing to secure the rights to show Formula One Grand Prix on the service.
This isn't the first time Netflix has been interested in sports, having previously been in talks to show the World Surf League, ATP and WTA tennis events and cycling competitions. However, in each of these negotiations the streaming giant failed to agree a price.
In a Netflix first, however, things could be about to change. The live celebrity golf event is reportedly set to feature the cast of its hit Formula One docuseries 'Drive to Survive' and golf reality show 'Full Swing'.
