GOLFTV is a new international destination for golf fans created by Discovery, a worldwide leader in real-life entertainment and international sports, in partnership with the PGA TOUR. The platform will include a dedicated video streaming service, ensuring you can watch many of golf’s most exciting tournaments, players and moments, anytime, anywhere on every screen and device.
The PGA TOUR’s 12-year partnership with Discovery will seek to create a worldwide home for all things golf, with new content and features added on a regular basis to build GOLFTV into the ultimate golf experience.
About The Role

Past experience with production of digital golf content and website content management is a must; a golf-journalism background is a plus.

6. Work with Discovery’s internal research team to conduct regular health checks on current programming and make recommendations on distribution, positioning and creative direction based on the data
7. Make sure the pipeline of new content is well maintained, and that archival content is effectively resurfaced
