Action from the remaining 2009 events will be accessible in more than 10 million UK homes on British Eurosport and British Eurosport 2, through Sky and Virgin Media platforms.
"We are pleased to announce this agreement with Eurosport which ensures that PGA Tour coverage will continue to be made available, live, every week to golf fans throughout the United Kingdom," said PGA Tour commissioner Tim Finchem.

World number one Woods (pictured), England's Paul Casey, double Major champion Padraig Harrington and Ryder Cup star Ian Poulter all feature regularly on the US Tour.
As the season continues, these stars and many others will be jockeying for position heading into the PGA Tour play-offs for the FedExCup and its conclusion at The Tour Championship.
Sergio Garcia, Vijay Singh, Justin Rose and US Open champion Lucas Glover will be in action for the next three nights at 20:00 UK time on British Eurosport 2 as part of a high-quality field at the Travelers Championship in Cromwell, Connecticut.
Eurosport UK's director of broadcast, Dave Kerr said: "The US PGA Tour is a great sports series and we are delighted that we can bring the live coverage to a wider audience of golf fans than ever before.
"With the retention of Moto GP, the recent acquisition of British Superbikes and now the arrival of the US PGA, our channels are becoming more and more attractive and exciting to UK viewers and we look forward to welcoming golf fans to a channel that has long been a destination for passionate fans of our other major sports."
