David Livingstone - Sky Sports Golf 12/10/2024

David Livingstone - Sky Sports Golf This is an episode we recorded in 2020 with long time Sky Sports Golf lead presenter, David Livingstone from Glasgow which we thought is well worth a revisit. We will be back to our normal pod next week with a review of the 2024 golfing season. This is the story of a humble Glasgow lad, who rose from reporting news in the local rag to sitting alongside Jack Nicklaus while presenting the US Masters live from Augusta National. David admits to stumbling into TV and golf after joining Sky Sports in its infancy. He presented 12 Ryder Cups, umpteen major championships and travelled the world following the best players in the game for over 25 years. He has worked alongside some amazing people including Tony Jacklin and Jack Nicklaus as well as interviewing everyone from Arnold Palmer to Rory McIlroy. He talked about his relationships with Seve and Tiger Woods and tells some great stories of his best pal, Butch Harmon. He gave an insight into what is involved in broadcasting a golf tournament and how things have changed over the years. In a very honest chat, David also talks about his thoughts on Augusta, Earl Woods and even the BBC. Unassuming, professional, great fun but most of all a gentleman. /episode/index/show/stewartwhiteford/id/34361950
