Veteran golf commentator David Feherty is leaving NBC and is expected to join LIV Golf as part of its broadcast team.
The 63-year-old analyst and on-course reporter for NBC Sports and Golf Channel is expected to become an analyst for LIV Golf, which has six events remaining on its 2022 schedule.
Feherty was host of his eponymous “Feherty” show on Golf Channel from 2011-2021 and was part of NBC’s coverage of the 150th Open Championship last week from St Andrews.
“We thank David for his numerous contributions to Golf Channel and NBC Sports’ golf coverage for more than a decade, and we wish him well in the future,” an NBC Sports spokesperson told Golf Digest.
The Saudi-backed series’ next event is being held at Trump National Golf Club Bedminster in New Jersey from July 29-31, where several new high profile player signings are expected to be unveiled.
The first two events could be watched live on YouTube and the three-person broadcast team has consisted of two other former NBC commentators, including former BBC football commentator Arlo White and former Golf Channel reporter Jerry Foltz. Dom Boulet, a former Asian Tour player, has been the third member of the commentary team.
Feherty was an on-course reporter for PGA Tour events on CBS from 1997 until 2015. He didn’t join NBC Sports as a full-time on-course reporter until 2016.
As a player, Feherty won five European Tour events from 1986-92 and was a member of the 1991 European Ryder Cup team at Kiawah Island.
