New York, NY (PRWEB) March 17, 2014 -- ONE World Sports, which offers coverage of world-class sports events from around the globe, has secured exclusive multiplatform North American rights to carry all 2014 tournaments from the OneAsia Golf Tour.
The OneAsia Golf Tour is comprised of tournaments from throughout the Asia-Pacific region annually, with ONE World Sports set to carry 10 events this year beginning with the Indonesia PGA Championship on March 27-30.

All coverage will be presented live and in high definition under licensing from World Sport Group. ONE World Sports also will present a one-hour highlight show after each day’s tournament play. Most events will be presented live in daily three- to five-hour programming blocks over the four-day tournaments.
