David Feherty to join NBC golf coverage

Golf funnyman David Feherty is joining NBC for analysis on tournament coverage and to continue his “Feherty” series on Golf Channel.

“David is a true talent who connects with people from all walks of life because of his ability to transition from hilarious to heartfelt so smoothly”, said Golf Channel president Mike McCarley, a graduate of the Mavericks public relations department. The previous Ryder Cup participant from Northern Eire will probably be a part of the NBC workforce for PGA Tour protection, the Olympics subsequent yr and when NBC will get the British Open beginning in 2017.

“I’m really looking forward to that”, he said.

You can practically see the short piece NBC will air during the 2018 Winter Olympics in which Feherty learns the game for the first time, while making ribald asides to the camera. Feherty already works at the NBC-owned cable network Golf Channel.

On the eve of the Republican debate on CNN, The Golf Channel will be looking to tap into some of that Republican battle buzz.

Feherty engaging in a give-and-take with NBC Golf Channel lead analyst Johnny Miller will be another anticipated aspect to the telecasts.

“Every 20 years, it seems I do something different”, he said.
