NXXT Golf and iHeartMedia Announce Landmark Media Partnership

A defining bet on golf’s next generation.

NEW YORK - June 11, 2026 - NXXT Golf and iHeartMedia today announced a landmark sponsorship naming iHeartMedia the Official Media Partner of NXXT Golf. The agreement is one of the most significant audio sponsorships ever committed to women's and junior competitive golf.

iHeartMedia is the leading audio media company in America with nine out of ten Americans listening to iHeart broadcast radio in every month. Through the sponsorship, iHeartMedia will deploy its unmatched multiplatform ecosystem spanning live broadcast radio, podcasts, digital streaming and live events to amplify NXXT’s players and championship events.

As a cornerstone of the partnership, iHeartMedia will serve as a title and presenting sponsor across NXXT Golf's premier event portfolio - including the NXXT Faldo Junior Tour, the NXXT Women's Pro Tour, and the season's most prestigious championship events.

iHeart's broader sports portfolio includes iHeart Women’s Sports – the first audio platform built exclusively for amplifying women's sports – as well as partnerships with the NFL, NHL, Olympic Games, U.S. Ski & Snowboard, U.S. Figure Skating and the latest addition, NXXT Golf. Additionally, iHeartMedia’s broadcast and digital sports radio stations across the country feature top local and national sports on-air talent and programming including insider access, interviews, live reports and play-by-play broadcast agreements with teams in major sports on both the professional and college level.

"Women's sports, junior development, and innovative competition formats are reshaping where golf is headed," said Stuart McKinnon, President and CEO of NXXT Golf. "iHeartMedia didn't sponsor a tour. They invested in a category - and a generation of players who are about to define what comes next in golf."

"This partnership with NXXT Golf reflects iHeartMedia's commitment to fueling the future of sport by connecting fans with the athletes and moments that define the next generation of the game," said Michael Biondo, President of Business Development and Strategic Partnerships at iHeartMedia. "We're proud to amplify NXXT Golf’s mission through the power of radio, podcasts and streaming audio - bringing new audiences to the sport and supporting the next generation of elite talent."
