While still boasting a robust team featuring the likes of Joe Buck, Paul Azinger and Brad Faxon, Loomis acknowledges the first few years of the network’s golf venture went overboard with the sheer number of announcers (Fox’s first press release in 2015 announcing its team featured a comical phone-book-length list of talent). His reasoning at the time was simple: Because of the sheer number of hours the network is on air (this year will feature a total of 160 hours on various channels), Loomis was worried his announcers would get burned out by Sunday. Hence he tapped former players like Tom Weiskopf, Darren Clarke and LPGA standouts Juli Inkster and Natalie Gulbis to help fill the air.
