Golf Channel’s “Live From” is back in full force this week at Bethpage and so is Brandel Chamblee, who opened the week’s first show with an absolute scorcher.
According to Golf Channel’s Rex Hoggard, captain Luke Donald will be taking his squad to the “People’s Country Club” for a recon mission ahead of this month’s match between America and Europe.
What this means for Golf Channel’s immediate outlook is unclear. Golf Channel and NBC (which is not moving to the new company) have PGA and LPGA media rights until 2030.
While both Paige Mackenzie and Golfweek writer Eamon Lynch had some strong comments, nobody went harder at the Spaniard than former PGA Tour winner Arron Oberholser.
Lanny Wadkins, who played on eight Ryder Cup teams, called the allegations levied against Phil Mickelson “very disconcerting” before taking a flamethrower to Lefty.
Along with Chamblee, Reed now is also targeting Golf Channel broadcasters Shane Bacon, Damon Hack and Eamon Lynch, as well as their media companies Golfweek and Gannett.
Patrick Reed, the former Masters champion who left the PGA Tour for LIV Golf this year, on Wednesday brought a lawsuit against Golf Channel and commentator Brandel Chamblee and is seeking damages for defamation.
