David Feherty, one of the most charismatic players in golf, joined CBS Sports full time in 1997 after having served as analyst for the CBS Television Network's coverage of several 1996 events, including the PGA Championship, Presidents Cup and Doral-Ryder Open. He serves as an on-course reporter for the majority of CBS's golf tournaments and as an analyst for the Mastersā and the PGA Championship. He and Gary McCord host CBS Sports' offbeat, critically acclaimed late-night highlight shows for early-round coverage of several PGA TOUR events.
Born and raised in Bangor, Northern Ireland, Feherty represented Ireland several times, captaining its team to victory in the 1990 Alfred Dunhill Cup. He also played for Europe in the 1991 Ryder Cup. When he was a regular on the European Tour, his victories included the ICI International, Italian Open, Scottish Open, South Africa PGA, BMW Open, Cannes Open, Bell's Cup and Madrid Open. He retired from both the European Tour and the PGA TOUR in 1997. Feherty is a regular contributor to Golf Magazine with his popular "Sidespin" column. He is also the New York Times and Booksense bestselling author of three books, A Nasty Bit of Rough, Somewhere in Ireland a Village Is Missing an Idiot, and David Feherty's Totally Subjective History of the Ryder Cup.
Feherty was born Aug. 13, 1958. He lives in Dallas with his wife, Anita, and their five children.
