Philadelphia Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie voiced the opening segment for ESPN’s broadcast of the PGA Championship today, according to @AdamSchefter. The major tournament is currently being held at the Aronimink Golf Club in Newtown Square, Pennsylvania.
Lurie, who has owned the Philadelphia Eagles since 1994, provided the narration to kick off the network's coverage as the prestigious event takes place in the Philadelphia suburbs. The Aronimink Golf Club serves as the host site for this year's championship, and the inclusion of a high-profile local sports figure like Lurie highlights the connection between the city's sports culture and the national golf stage.
The broadcast aired on ESPN earlier today, featuring Lurie’s voice to set the scene for the field of professional golfers competing in Newtown Square. No further details regarding additional appearances by Lurie during the tournament have been confirmed at this time.
