Is Kelly Tighman the worst ever?

Is Kelly Tilghman the worst television anchor in the history of golf broadcasting?

If not, then whom?

She is awful. I liked her ok on the Golf Channel with her prior duties, but she's really awful at announcing.

I really try to like her. But yes, she might be the worst. She's great at studio anchoring. But that same voice as an announcer is kind of intolerable.

 I don't know, I just listen.  I usually hear something helpful.  We don't always have to judge everyone.

After watching the last hour, I would say no. For me Faldo gets the nod on this one.

Johnny Miller is hands down the worst. Maybe he should "take his medicine" and get the hell off TV.

At least Kelly is sorta hot.

Brent Musburger is the worst.  Tighman is a close second (she went to Dook, what can you expect), and Faldo is so-so.

Ben Wright, Renton Laidlaw, Peter Alliss, Paul Azinger, Ian Baker Finch, David Ferehty, and Verne Lundquist (mainly at the Masters) are the best.

This is the first thing that cam to my mind when I saw this thread.  It doesn't make Tighman any better, but man is Berman ever bad at golf. 

Talk about a guy taking advantage of some seniority (I'm assuming that this is what is happening rather than ESPN urging him to get out there and do this...)

Jay Randolph - voice of NBC golf at its 1980s dreariest
Ben Crenshaw - ill-suited for analysis
Steve Melnyk - everything is a sonnet or soundbite
Lee Trevino - miscast on network golf
Curtis Strange - breathes through his nose on air

But Kelly T is worse than any of them.

Reminds me of a funny Kelly Tilghman story.

I am caddying in the Pro-am of the Byron Nelson a couple of years ago and Carlos Franco is the professional in our group. We just finished teeing off on the 8th hole and are walking down the hill. In the distance I see a hot chick driving up the hill in a golf cart. When she finally approached us I realized it was KT (looking pretty damn good by the way). She jumps out of her cart and gives Carlos Franco a big hug and a kiss on the cheek. They chatted for a while and then she headed off. While we were walking down the hill I give Carlos a smile and a nod and he then responds "I wish"  I then asked him why not and got a hilarious response... in his broken english he responds with "na na, she like the ladies, the hot ladies". I always had suspected it was the case but I guess this was true confirmation.

She looks damn good when she isn't wearing that nonsense they are forced to wear in the booth!!!

Has Karl Rove taken over the management of golfclubatlas.com?  I guess it is negative campaigning season in every way imaginable.   :'( :-\ :-[

You know who's REALLY good?

Corey Pavin and Rocco Mediate.  They've both had trial stints, and they're both VERY good.
