Paul Azinger has left his role as NBC's lead golf analyst. A pay cut amid budget cutsreported to be the reason.

Curt Byrum will replace him for the upcoming Hero World Challenge, with it still to be seen who will replace Azinger full time. I would imagine that Byrum's lack of major success would count against him getting the role full time. Of the regular (male) ex-players used by NBC, Justin Leonard I believe is the only remaining major winner. Of course there would be many names from outside the current NBC roster in the running.

Another golf line is that the new TGL, run by Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy will be delayed by a year due to the roof of the venue collapsing. The event will be broadcast on ESPN when it does occur.
