Gary McCord
A calm sea does not make a good sailor. This ancient proverb describes Gary McCord's
approach to his job as a golf commentator. Over the years, he has been referred to as
irreverent, witty, approachable, colorful, delightfully different, and is one of those few
players to successfully make the transition from the course to the microphone.
Gary McCord, a 25-year Tour veteran, stumbled into broadcasting when a CBS executive
asked him to do color commentary-by tossing him a headset with 15 minutes to prepare.
CBS liked Gary's style under pressure and he was on his way to a career in broadcasting.
Currently, Gary McCord has the opportunity to view the game from the other side of the
camera, while playing on the Senior PGA Tour. After a solid rookie year in 1998, Gary
proved that he is a dominant force on the Tour, finishing 14th on the 1999 Official Money
List ,including wins at both the Toshiba Senior Classic and season ending Senior Tour
Championship.
When Gary is not broadcasting or playing, he keeps busy with a myriad of other projects.
He starred as himself and served as technical director in the golf movie "Tin Cup,"
starring Kevin Costner and Don Johnson. He has teamed up with "Tin Cup" producers
Ron Shelton and Gary Foster to write and produce the film "Titanic Thompson" which is
set for release fall of 2000. McCord is also an author.
McCord is also an authord. He recently released a second edtion of the best-selling
instructional book Golf for Dummies. Gary also penned Just a Range Ball in a Box of
Titleists, a collection of essays and stories from his life on and off the Tour.
