Katt Williams Joins PGA Tour as On-Course Correspondent
Comedian Katt Williams is set to take on a unique role as an on-course correspondent for the PGA Tour, bringing his comedic flair to the PGA Tour Live coverage of the FedEx St. Jude Championship in Memphis. This exclusive news was reported by The Hollywood Reporter.
A New Perspective on Golf
Williams will work alongside ESPN analyst Michael Collins, providing insightful commentary and humor during the tournament. Having previously appeared as a special guest at the 2024 Tour Championship, this new position signifies a growing recognition of Williams as a valuable asset to the sport.
Golf: More Than Just a Game
The aim of Williams’ involvement is to attract a broader audience to the PGA Tour. An avid golf fan, he considers himself a great ambassador for the sport. Despite having a 19 handicap, which is often viewed as high, Williams believes it doesn’t accurately reflect his capabilities on the course. “I shoot low 80s,” he claims, emphasizing his confidence in his game.
Philosophy Through Golf
Williams views golf as a metaphor for life. He explains, “The first four holes not going your way? It can ruin your day, but it doesn’t have to. You can still turn it around.” His perspective on mistakes in golf mirrors his approach to life, promoting a mindset of resilience and learning.
Upcoming Opportunities
Williams will showcase his commentary skills on August 7 and 8, starting at 9 a.m. ET, during the first postseason event of the 2025 FedExCup Playoffs. While he will follow the marquee group of golfers, the tournament will continue through the weekend without him.
