Webb Simpson has to be added to this list. "Cashmere" Keith Mitchell probably should be too, but gotta say, I dig his aesthetic on the golf course.TexasAGGIEinAR said:

He said something to the effect of ..... 'Tiger Woods has underachieved the most of any golfer based on his talent......thinks he should have won 25 majors and 100 PGA Tour events'. Not a direct quote, but Chamblee's point was that Woods was so talented he should have won a lot more. But his swing changes held him back.aginlakeway said:Oyster DuPree said:
Brandel was dead to me the second he badmouthed Tiger a few years ago. Dead! It showed a total lack of respect and integrity
What did he say that was badmouthing?
Loose recollection- but something along those lines.
I thought he was paying him a huge compliment.

When David Duval was there, Brandel was held in check. Duval and Chamblee were great foils. Once he left, Chamblee went nuts.
He isn't entirely to blame. There is an off air producer saying "we need more eyeballs, be outrageous".
That said, he doesn't bother me at all.

It's the decision by the network to willingly let Brandel and Emaon to be the 'voice' of all things golf that has driven the quality of the product down. They're both clowns but blame the producers who allow it and encourage it.
I didn't realize TGC producers had so much influence. I guess times have changed.
I sure didn't have much pull during for my 5 years as a producer there ...

If the talent of Chamblee and Lynch call the shots that's even a worse indictment of how the network is run.

Talent has a lot of pull. Management had more before the NBC merger. The producers had a lot of content control.

That makes complete sense as a simple observer. Something definitely changed.

Yeah, that's the one. Very disrespectful. Tiger should have won 39 majors and 300 tour events. Brandel's words are odious and his aura unpure. Thank you for doing the "legwork" to uncover his scandalous words
Thumbs up.
But Lynch has a cool accent, so he's OK.

It 100% changed when NBC Sports bought the Golf Channel.
TGC was a small, self-contained company, with everyone working out of a large office in Orlando. The management of the company officed in the "green carpet" area of the building. (Fun fact: Arnold Palmer had an office there even after he was no longer part of TGC)
That small group (15 or so) of TGC management made all major TGC decisions, including talent and programming decisions.
When NBC took over, they scattered TGC employees throughout the country, and ran things from NBC headquarters. Management actually had less of a say in things as far as TGC, because management had more responsibility than just TGC. So talent started to have more say in content.
IMO ... TGC lost its identity when NBC bought it. It's never been the same.

Chamblee is the poster boy for golf elitists.
