Who Is this Golf Announcer?

[nevets88]

I have no bloody idea. It's not like I can run him through Soundhound. I don't watch enough Euro Tour events to know who the regulars are.

I don’t know, but I like him

Maybe it’s a clip of Elkington ripping on Monte

"That's where the elephants go to die."  Nice line.  Been there; played out of there.

Sounds like he's from Africa.  There aren't any elephant grave yards in Australia or New Zealand.  Pay particular attention to how he says "where".  It has a slightly South African flavor.

I was just kidding... since you think he's from South Africa.  Not Gary...

Dang it.  It also pays to not think too much of yourself.  I get those things confused sometimes.

Tony Johnson?  He's Zimbabwean...which could explain the difficulty.

You guys are way way off. The wrong continent. His name is Wayne O’Reilly.  Known as “Radar”. European tour winner 2 or 3 times. Better career as commentator than as a golfer. He is what is called a “character”- and in an idiom from his home country “as mad as a box of frogs”. Australian

Then he'll help announce the Masters and get in trouble for a colorful comment about the speed of the greens... 😊  Or he'll talk about the left side of #13 being a place where green jackets go to die.

I can assure you that you would change your mind after five minutes of listening to him,.

Riley's great!  And he has a youtube channel where he plays golf with some of golf's biggest names.  (He also shills for a golf company.)
