Same. I don't really care who is in the booth. I do miss Feherty on the course though.I never had an issue with Azinger. But I also didn't mind Faldo, Miller, or McCord, either. Heck, I don't even mind Chamblee. I find him entertaining in his doofus jester sort of way.
I guess the commentary and talking heads just don't matter very much to me.
Azinger out at NBC!
That would be enough to make me go straight to the Mute button. Ugh.
Same. Love his humor but his insight is also typically excellent during his few serious moments.

I assume you meant Faxon but your phone did not agree.
If not, I fully support Brad Falcon. He seems like he would be a cold blooded analyst.

On Monday, Sports Illustrated shared that Azinger will be replaced at next week’s Hero World Challenge by Curt Byrum. Byrum is a former PGA Tour player and has been an analyst for the Golf Channel since 2001."
Hell yeah!
Azinger out as NBC analyst after no new deal
Paul Azinger will no longer be the lead golf analyst for NBC Sports, ending his five years with the network at the Ryder Cup without even knowing that was his final event.www.espn.com
He was absolutely horrible.
Azinger was a great golfer but a failure in the booth. Biggest homer on the planet. Total lack of awareness that other viewers besides Americans were watching the telecasts. Now if they could somehow figure out a way to silence Morgan Pressel. The most grating voice on air. She seems like a nice person but not everyone has a voice that translates well on-air.
one word............

Kisner is really good with a mic in hand. Smylie has turned out to be a great hire for NBC as well.

Agree to disagree; I really liked Azinger, loved his perspective as a former top level player. And I like Pressel a lot, her voice is a big part of her charm- she also gives great insight from being a top level player.
dam spell check and me not proof reading…or Kisner.
