GARY
MCCORD
Gary McCord is well known for enduring 23 years and 422 tournaments
on the PGA Tour without nabbing a single victory. A man of good
humor, he boasted a “NO WINS” license plate for years
to poke fun at his own less-than-glamorous career as a professional
golfer.
McCord
pursued other avenues of golf and scored big when a CBS executive
tossed him a headset and asked him to do commentary – giving
him only 15 minutes to prepare. A friend of failure, McCord jumped
in with no fear and impressed CBS with his performance. Eighteen
years later, Gary is still providing color commentary for CBS.
Fans and critics alike praise him for his knowledgeable perspective,
refreshing humor, and sometimes irreverent wit towards a game
that is known for taking itself too seriously. Gary has also established
himself as a talented author with his best-selling instructional
manual Golf for Dummies and his autobiographical collection, Just
a Range Ball in a Box of Titleists. Non-golfers might recognize
McCord for his appearance in the Kevin Costner movie, Tin
Cup, in which Gary played himself and served as a technical
director. |
