Greg Norman out as FOX golf analyst after one year

Norman was paired in the booth with veteran sportscaster Joe Buck, who hadn’t done golf before.
The source, who asked not to be identified, said Norman wasn't very good on the air because "he didn’t do his homework and he didn’t know any players who weren’t Australian." Norman just wasn’t engaged in any of the FOX telecasts the way the network had hoped, the source said.
"It was tough for the whole staff because he wasn’t involved in the shows like a lead analyst should be," the source said. "Maybe he thought just being Greg Norman was enough. He's been successful in everything he's done in business but he wasn’t good at TV. He was a team player but when the cameras turned on, he just went silent."

I think being paired with him would put Billy Mays to sleep.

He did great for the first three days but he just couldn't provide the insight on Sunday.

Seriously though, he was the only bright spot in their shitty coverage of the US Open

Norman should have gotten more time.
Good news is they are reportedly targeting Azinger
He would probably take it because ESPN loses the British to NBC in 2017.

I also enjoyed Norman's work.
They may just elevate Brad Faxon now.
But a totally Fox thing to do would be to hire someone like Steve Elkington, which would be fantastic because he would have no problem saying critical and funny shite.

Are they going to give Holly Saunders a second chance?

Yet buck keeps his spot. They want so badly to make him Jim nantz and he will never be.

I thought Norman did pretty well... Buck was just horrible... Just like pretty much else he does... He should stick with being a homer Cards announcer........

In the very limited time I watched golf, I actually enjoyed hearing Norman talk about how players made certain shots on replay, breaking down various swing segments. I thought he was good.

The USGA deserves what they are getting. And that's not much imo.
