World Golf Hall of Fame Induction 2022
David Feherty talks Tiger Woods
From PGA TOUR by Cameron Morfit:
David Feherty was announced Tuesday as the emcee of next month’s World Golf Hall of Fame induction ceremony for Tiger Woods, former PGA TOUR Commissioner Tim Finchem, four-time LPGA Tour major winner Susie Maxwell Berning, and trailblazing golf course designer Marion Hollins.
The ceremony is set for March 9 -- the eve of THE PLAYERS Championship -- at PGA TOUR Headquarters in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida.
Feherty spoke to PGATOUR.COM by phone from his farm, about 90 minutes south of Dallas, about his long career covering the headliner of the next WGHOF class, 82-time TOUR winner and 15-time major winner Woods. Read full dialogue
