In the July 2015 issue of GOLF Magazine, Greg Norman says, “I don’t normally watch golf on TV.
But since getting the job as lead analyst for Fox Sport’s golf telecasts alongside Joe Buck, I’ve been watching a lot.” That statement alone speaks volumes.
Johnny Miller has been the lead golf analyst for the U.S. Open on NBC for 20 years. He studied each competitor’s swing and knew all their idiosyncrasies. This allowed him to give honest and believable critiques, whether positive or negative.
The one thing that has been consistent with Johnny Miller is his “tell it like it is” honesty. Will we miss that in 2015?
And Johnny, love him or hate him, cared so much for his role in broadcasting America’s biggest golf tournament that he fought back the tears when saying goodbye on TV last weekend. Greg Norman has been a World No. 1 golfer and an admirable businessman. But have you ever seen him display anything close to “heartfelt’?
Not only has Fox never broadcast a major golf tournament, but their new lead analyst “doesn’t normally watch golf on TV.” WHAT?
I think this replacement will leave us all asking, “Where’s Johnny?”
