OPELIKA, Ala - Gary Christian is easy to spot at the Barbasol Championship. He’s the guy wearing the headset and carrying the microphone.
Christian, a former Auburn golfer, is the Golf Channel’s roving, on-course correspondent, lending his perspective and distinctive British accent to the proceedings.
“Anything that sounds different keep the people’s attention, which is nice.” Christian said.
After 15 seasons playing professional golf, he’s making the transition to broadcasting.
“I’d love to be able to play again, but I’m 44, three knee surgeries, playing against people 20 years younger than me, who can hit it 50 yards by me, it’s not an easy one to do,” Christian said.
