I hardly watch televised golf unless it's a major so it doesn't really matter to me.

I actually find the Youtube golfers more entertaining.

Wow. Wonder who they'll get to replace him in the booth?

I thought Gary Koch got canned a year ago with Maltbie.

The Azinger news is interesting but not surprising. Came off as a poor man's Johnny Miller. Interested to see who gets a shot.

Didn't care for Zinger always talking about how much pressure the guys were under. Koch was ok.
Miss Maltbie burning heaters on the course.

I liked Maltbie a lot. He has a good sense of humor but doesn't overdo it.

I wonder if they'll make a run at Colt Knost to replace Azinger.

Name I saw mentioned most in an article this morning is Geoff Ogilve. People think he'd do well. Another was Paul McGinley who I think would be good.

golf.com article had their writers speculate and 2 of them thought Brandel would get the spot in the chair. They wrote this in the same paragraph where they said the move away from Azinger could also be due to the fact that he doesn't exactly cater to the younger audience they're all hungry for....yet they think Brandel will?

Brandel Chumplee will drone on about a swing thought Gene Sarazen had when playing a fairway wood on an uphill lie and lose the audience.

Chamblee: "Wow, there's a great shot by Morikawa. You know, I'll bet those guys who defected to LIV are wishing they were playing this event. I can't believe these guys were so un-loyal to the tour that made them who they are. Why do they expect to be able to play in the majors based on their performance in what is essentially an exhibition. I just don't get it. Nice putt by Morikawa. Out to 16."

Chamblee if they are looking for a heel.

I like Paul Azinger as a person but he never really added any benefit as an analyst.

Not going to miss Azinger one bit.
If you think I am a liberal, you are incorrect. Assume sarcasm on my part. Sorry if something I post has already been posted. Just the way it is!!

I'd have to say that the most hated thing in golf on TV is the unrelenting barrage of commercials on NBC. If they keep it up without a corresponding increase in the quality of their coverage (seems to be going the opposite way), they're going to (continue to?) drive viewers away and eventually lose their package to another entity (can't say network anymore). Amazon, Apple, et al., are likely biding their time to make a bid.
