I've been watching golf on television for 40+ years. I suspect I'm in the minority but I think Miller was the best ever. I also enjoy Gary Koch. CBS was crazy for letting Feherty go. He would have been the ideal candidate to replace Venturi. Faldo knows golf from a technical perspective but as an analyst for an American TV audience he comes up woefully short.

I am a huge Faldo fan. Hell, my dog is named Faldo. There is no commentator as knowledgeable as Faldo when it comes to analysis of Augusta and the open rotation. He knows it better than any other. Now, run of the mill tournaments he does seem to stammer. However, don’t frick with him at the masters and the open.

Knowledge is one thing. Being able to convey it in a coherent manner is another. IMO that's where he falls short.

Agree to disagree?

The whole CBS team is awful and living so far under par is almost unwatchable. Faldo blabbering without saying anything, McCord being obnoxious, Dottie Pepper, constant fedex updstes, useless features, commercials, and showing no golf shots.

I worked 2 - 3 tournaments a year for CBS as a spotter/scorer starting in 1997. IMO that's when they were at their prime. Their production crew inside the trailers was first class as were their camera people on the towers and the ground. They were led by the greatest Executive Director/Producer in the history of televised golf Frank "The Ayatollah" Chirkanian. Unfortunately Father Time has caught up with the CBS crew. They've had turnover is just about every position. It's most noticeable with the people manning the cameras. They often lose track of the ball in flight. NBC led by Tommy Roy is very good at televising golf. Unfortunately they don't televise that many tournaments.
