Gary McCord

As a member of the CBS golf broadcast team until 2019, Gary McCord’s lighthearted approach to calling the game made him a fan favorite. McCord used his wry humor and irreverence to carve out a successful broadcasting career with CBS Sports for 33 years. He currently co-hosts a weekly program on SiriusXM PGA Tour Radio called “The Dry Heave” with former CBS colleague David Feherty.

Before picking up a microphone, McCord was an accomplished golfer. A two-time All American at the University of California-Riverside, he won the NCAA Division II individual golf championship in 1970. He went on to a professional career, competing in more than 400 PGA Tour events and winning two PGA Tour Champions tournaments.  

McCord has also written several books, including Just a Range Ball in a Box of Titleists and Golf for Dummies. In 1996, he appeared as himself in the Kevin Costner movie Tin Cup, a film he says is based on his life.  He and fellow former CBS commentator Peter Kostis are partners in the Kostis/McCord Learning Center in Scottsdale, Arizona. McCord formerly served as a co-announcer on the EA Sports' Tiger Woods PGA Tour series along with David Feherty.
