Staff WriterIf LIV Golf wanted a voice that could cut through the noise, they’ve just signed one. Henni Zuël—the former prodigy who became one of golf’s sharpest broadcasters—has stepped into a new role as a LIV Golf Broadcaster for the 2026 season.
Her arrival signals a serious statement of intent from a league determined to stretch its reach and sharpen its storytelling.
The addition of Henni Zuël comes ahead of a bumper 2026 schedule featuring 14 events across 10 countries, including the League’s first-ever stop in South Africa.
As a former LET professional who broke records long before she learned to drive a car, she brings a blend of credibility, edge, and modern clarity that LIV Golf has been eager to capture.
“Challenge has always guided my career, and I’m drawn to environments that encourage curiosity, innovation, and a genuine sense of purpose. LIV Golf is at the forefront of redefining how the sport is experienced, powered by elite athletes and leaders who embrace meaningful progress – a vision that strongly resonates with me,” said Henni Zuël, LIV Golf Broadcaster. “My passions – golf, technology, creativity, and forward thinking are all reflected in this role. Joining LIV Golf will enable me to draw on my experience as a commentator and former player, whilst contributing to the wider mission of expanding awareness and driving positive global change within the game.”
She’ll anchor pre-show coverage and deliver analysis across all four rounds of the League’s 72-hole format—a setup built for fans who want the full picture, not just highlights stitched together after dark.
Chris Heck, LIV Golf’s President of Business Operations, didn’t hold back on what he thinks she brings to the table.
“Henni Zuël brings exceptional journalistic experience and the credibility of a former professional player, enhancing the depth and quality of our coverage and strengthening our commitment to delivering a broadcast that is innovative, informed, and globally resonant,” said Chris Heck.
“LIV Golf’s two-story format – where team identity and individual performance build simultaneously – requires the ability to illuminate both narratives with clarity and sophistication. Henni’s instincts, intuition, and commitment to modern storytelling make her an ideal voice for this new era.
She embodies the professionalism, energy, and vision shaping the game, and her passion for integrating technology will help redefine how golf is experienced around the world.”
A Broadcast Operation With Global Reach
LIV Golf’s broadcast machine now hits nearly 900 million households in more than 200 countries and territories. With new distribution muscle added in 2025—FOX in the U.S., DAZN across Europe and international markets, and KC Global Media in Asia—the league sits alongside the most widely watched sports properties on the planet.
More than 20 major broadcasters carry LIV Golf’s programming, from Movistar in Spain and Seven Network in Australia to Coupang Play in Korea and TV Azteca in Mexico. DAZN’s expanded territories include Germany, Italy, France, Canada, Japan, Austria, Belgium, Portugal, and Switzerland. The result: over 66 million viewer hours racked up in 2025 alone.
If you’re trying to reach golf fans wherever they are, the league has built the runway.
From Prodigy To Powerhouse Broadcaster
Before she became one of the sport’s go-to voices, Zuël was busy rewriting British golf history. She represented England at every amateur level and became the youngest player to tee it up on the LET at just 13. By 18, she had turned pro, earned two LET Access Series titles, and even posted a T13 at the 2010 Women’s British Open.
A serious back injury cut her competitive career short, but instead of fading from the fairways, she reinvented herself. Nearly a decade with Sky Sports followed, where she covered the game’s biggest stages and helped deliver the BAFTA-winning broadcast of The Open Championship in 2016.
Her later work with GOLFTV and Discovery—particularly the acclaimed My Game instructional series—cemented her as one of golf media’s most trusted voices.
Championing Growth, Access, And The Next Generation
Zuël’s influence extends far beyond the broadcast booth. She serves as an R&A Global Golf Development Ambassador and the European Ambassador for Steph Curry’s Underrated Golf Tour, opening doors for young players who rarely get the spotlight. Her work with Children on the Edge reinforces her commitment to protecting and uplifting vulnerable communities.
She has also been a familiar face at PIF-supported Saudi Ladies and LET events, building a strong presence in women’s golf and international player development.
Add to that a roster of brand partnerships—adidas, BMW, Rapsodo, Fairmont Windsor, The Buckinghamshire, and Precision Golf—and you’ve got someone shaping the sport on and off the course.
First Stop: The Lights Of Riyadh
Zuël will make her first on-air appearance for the League at LIV Golf Riyadh 2026 from 4–7 February, where the night-golf spectacle at Riyadh Golf Club will set the tone for a season built on growth, ambition, and fresh perspectives.
