Jim Furyk to dip toes in the TV waters. He will be in Golf Channel booth at Bay Hill and Sawgrass
Jim Furyk, a 17-time PGA Tour winner, leads Golf Channel's weekday coverage in a trial role to add expert insight at two key tournaments, Golf Channel said.
- Furyk joins Golf Channel as lead analyst for the booth at Bay Hill and The Players, sitting with announcer Terry Gannon, and is testing television waters at these events.
- Having prior TV experience, Furyk previously worked from the PGA Tour Studios with Paul Azinger, sat in a booth at The Players in 2004, and covered The Ally Challenge last year while recovering from hip replacement surgery.
- Golf Channel's schedule gives four weekday hours at Bay Hill and two weekend lead-in hours before NBC.
- Furyk says he's focused on doing the best job for two weeks, reflecting Golf Channel's pattern of bringing in outside voices this year, including Maltbie previously.
- Furyk's credentials as a 17-time PGA Tour winner and U.S. captain lead to his new analyst role, with Tom Knapp saying he brings competitive intensity to the booth.
