David Feherty Surfaces In Sioux Falls; Has No Comment

David Nicholson of the Argus Leader talks to David Feherty, free agent and appearing in Sioux Falls for the Symetra Tour’s GreatLIFE Challenge as a favor to CEO Tom Walsh. (Thanks to reader Tom Herron.)

The obvious question for the 19-year CBS veteran who was not renewed last week just days after the network's final broadcast of 2015.

Q: There are questions circling about where you’ll go and what you’ll be doing. To cut through some of that, what voice would you like to have in the live broadcasts moving forward?

A: I’m just happy to be a voice. I can’t really talk about that at this point.

Q: With respect to your show Feherty on The Golf Channel, it’s been a massive success in large part because of your ability to connect with people and to follow a format that seems like an honest, open conversation. Do you consider that a talent?

A: I’m not sure that’s a talent. If anything I think I’m probably a good listener. I ask the first question that I have on my sheet and then I just listen from there on, which drives the producers berserk. They like to have it in sections; easy to edit. I’m interested in people, and I generally have people on the show whom I like. I can’t think of an interview that I haven’t enjoyed, and in that sense I’ve just been really lucky. I think I mentioned before, I’ve always been lucky.

Where will Feherty be "lucky" to land? Who knows, but the behind-the-scenes chatter has been fascinating because of how much golfers are talking about the shake up and the potential for new vibes at any number of networks covering the game.
