David Feherty lost the Masters but gained the Olympics when he moved from CBS to NBC, and he’ll be busy in Rio.
NBC announced Monday that Feherty will serve as a correspondent for feature work and have a role in the opening ceremonies telecast in addition to covering golf for the network’s broadcast this summer.
“David’s television skills are perfectly suited to the Olympics; he’s a master storyteller who will bring a genuine sense of wonder and more than a little bit of mischief to these Games,” executive producer of NBC Olympic Jim Bell said in a release. “He’s inspirational and passionate, and we’re somewhere between excited and nervous to see what he’ll get into while immersing himself in Brazilian culture.”
