AIS PLAY Kicks Off New Era with DP World Tour Golf Rights Starting 15 Jan

AIS PLAY kicks off a new era by securing broadcasting rights for the DP World Tour golf, starting with the first match on 15 January.


AIS PLAY, Thailand's leading video streaming and sports content provider, has announced a major strategic partnership with the DP World Tour to broadcast the 2026 men's professional golf season. This collaboration brings top-tier swings from world-class golfers directly to Thai golf fans, allowing them to enjoy the excitement of the “Race to Dubai” season on smartphones, tablets, and smart TVs anywhere via AIS PLAY. It reinforces AIS's role in elevating its position as a premier sports and entertainment content hub through the strategy “All Sports in One Platform,” covering global sports content including Premier League football, NBA basketball, NFL American football, and world-class golf like the PGA, LPGA, and now the DP World Tour.


Ms. Rungthip Charusiripipat, Head of Entertainment Business at AIS, said, “AIS PLAY is ready to elevate the competitive content market by delivering premium golf content directly to our target audience. We are expanding our golf rights beyond the PGA and LPGA Tours to include the DP World Tour, a prestigious global stage featuring superstar golfers such as Rory McIlroy and other top professionals competing fiercely across 25 countries. This partnership not only reflects AIS PLAY’s vision to transition from a general entertainment provider to a strong sports content hub but also represents a key piece that will help AIS PLAY become the leading streaming platform beloved by Thai sports fans. We remain committed to curating quality content to deliver unlimited joy and entertainment.”


Mr. Richard Bann, Chief Revenue and Content Officer of the DP World Tour, added, “We are very excited to partner with AIS PLAY to bring the intensity of the DP World Tour competition to Thai golf fans. Thailand is one of the countries with a loyal and rapidly growing golf fan base in Asia. We are confident that AIS PLAY’s capabilities will elevate the viewing experience to world-class standards for Thai audiences, perfectly delivering every emotion and atmosphere from iconic tournament venues around the world straight to viewers' screens.”


The DP World Tour is a global golf tour featuring leading superstars like Rory McIlroy and top professionals from around the world competing on iconic courses throughout the season. Sports fans can fully enjoy the DP World Tour starting with the opening event, the Dubai Invitational, in the United Arab Emirates on 15 January 2026.
