If you’ve watched any of NBC’s golf coverage over the past few years, then you know that the network’s lead analyst, Paul Azinger, really can make the broadcasts difficult to watch.
If the former PGA Tour player isn’t using the word “pressure” in seemingly every other comment to describe what the players are feeling in big moments, then he’s going off on some narrative that nobody but him really believes.
Azinger provided more proof of that during Saturday’s third round of the The Players Championship when Scottie Scheffler chipped in for an eagle on the second hole. Right after the ball found the cup, Azinger started talking about how basically the eagle could hurt Scheffler moving forward if he didn’t find a way to control his emotions.
