Honda Classic media room now Tim Rosaforte Media Center
Rosaforte, a 65-year-old Jupiter resident, retired in late 2019 after a decorated career that included a 12-year stint as Golf Channel’s “insider” after writing for publications such as Golf Digest/Golf World, Sports Illustrated and the Palm Beach Post, where he worked from 1987- 94. Not long after Rosaforte retired, he was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. “Tim is one of the major reasons why the tournament has grown in stature over the years,” Kennerly said. “He has been our hometown voice providing coverage both nationally and internationally.” In addition to covering the Honda Classic since 1981, Rosaforte has served as host of the tournament’s pro-am draw and moderator for corporate events involving PGA Tour players

“I’ve got a lot of great memories from the Honda Classic,” Rosaforte said. “Jackie Gleason riding around in his souped-up golf cart … I got to meet Joe Willie Namath the first time at a Honda. I wish I would have been there when Jack (Nicklaus) won with the five closing birdies (in 1978).
