Golf Channel\u2019s Brandel Chamblee has \u201cbecome the most prominent and polarizing voice\u201d in the sport, \u201cknown for how he talks golf, and for how it makes people feel,\u201d according to Andrew Gruttadaro of THE RINGER. The Golf Channel desk is a \u201cplatform for Chamblee\u2019s thoughts and opinions, sure, but beyond that, it\u2019s a vehicle to foster interest in the sport.\u201d As the Ryder Cup approaches this weekend, Chamblee \u201cfinds himself in the middle of all of the drama.\u201d Over the last four years, Chamblee has \u201cgained renown as the face of the anti-LIV bloc in golf media.\u201d He is the \u201conly commentator taking on the gargantuan task of being golf\u2019s moral compass — a mission he carries out with surprising skill, care, and fearlessness.\u201d The reaction he generates raises a \u201cquestion about not just what we want out of sports commentary but what we need.\u201d Chamblee is \u201cdriven by two things — truth and entertainment — and he doesn\u2019t fear what he might encounter to achieve those goals.\u201d Most of the \u201creasons for disdain are also the reasons he\u2019s one of the best commentators in sports.\u201d The \u201cconfidence, the conviction, the conflict: These are all traits that make for good TV\u201d (THE RINGER, 9\/24<\/a>).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Golf Channel\u2019s Brandel Chamblee has \u201cbecome the most prominent and polarizing voice\u201d in the sport, \u201cknown for how…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":167186,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[443],"tags":[49,48,622,6674,82],"class_list":{"0":"post-167185","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-golf","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-canada","10":"tag-golf","11":"tag-liv-golf","12":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/167185","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=167185"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/167185\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/167186"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=167185"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=167185"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=167185"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
