CBS Sports Team

Gary McCord joined CBS Sports full time in 1986 as an analyst for the CBS Television Network's golf coverage. He and David Feherty host CBS Sports' offbeat, critically acclaimed late-night highlight shows for early-round coverage of several PGA TOUR events. He also plays on the Champions Tour and won his first event at the Toshiba Classic in March 1999.

McCord's insight stems from his being a PGA TOUR regular since 1973. He achieved best-ever finishes at the 1975 and 1977 Greater Milwaukee Open, placing second in both tournaments. He was the PGA TOUR's leading putter in 1984 and won the Ben Hogan Gateway Open in 1991, the year he entered eight PGA TOUR events and finished in the money three times.

A playing editor for Golf Digest, McCord has written two books, Just a Range Ball in a Box of Titleists and Golf for Dummies. He appeared as himself in the 1996 Kevin Costner movie "Tin Cup," for which he also served as technical director. He is currently working on a film about the life of legendary golf hustler "Titanic" Thompson. McCord and Peter Kostis are partners in the Kostis/McCord Learning Center in Scottsdale, Ariz.

McCord was a two-time All-America at the University of California-Riverside, from which he was graduated in 1971 after having been a member of the 1970 College Division II championship team. After turning pro, McCord was a player-director on the PGA TOUR's Policy Board (1983-86).

He was born May 23, 1948, in San Gabriel, Calif., and lives with his wife, Diane, in Scottsdale, Ariz., and Edwards, Colo.
