Hack Tabbed: Another Golf Channel Insider

Look out Rosie, there's a new Insider in Orlando!

Ed Sherman on Golf Channel signing former Sports Illustrated writer Damon Hack, fresh off taking a buyout from the once proud publication.

“When it all came together, we thought, ‘Maybe this is a sign we should do something different,’” Hack said.

Even though Hack has spent 18 years as a sportswriter, he studied broadcasting as an undergrad at UCLA.

“I wanted to be the next Chick Hearn or Vin Scully,” he said. “I always had a quiet dream to do broadcasting, and golf is my favorite sport to cover. It couldn’t work out any better.”

Hack said his exact TV role has yet to be defined. The GC still hasn’t named a permanent co-host to join Gary Williams for Morning Drive.
