The Hootie & The Blowfish Monday After the Masters Celebrity Pro-Am will again shine a spotlight on Myrtle Beach, bringing a pair of nationally syndicated radio programs and a star-studded field to the area.
Westwood One’s Tiki & Tierney Show and the Doug Gottlieb Show, a CBS Sports Radio program, will originate from the first tee at Barefoot Resort’s Dye Course, the host of the 23rd annual event. Westwood One is America’s largest radio network.
The Monday After the Masters will be played on April 10.
"The eyes of the sports world turn to golf around The Masters, so it's the perfect time for us to host one of America's premier celebrity tournaments and two nationally syndicated radio programs," said Bill Golden, Myrtle Beach Golf Holiday president. "We look forward to welcoming a star-studded Monday After the Masters field to Myrtle Beach and a national radio audience tuning in for the Tiki & Tierney and Doug Gottlieb shows."
The Tiki & Tierney Show will air from 9 a.m. until noon. The CBS show’s hosts are former NFL great Tiki Barber, who is one of only three players to have at least 10,000 yards rushing and 5,000 yards receiving – and Brandon Tierney, an Emmy Award winning personality who has excelled on radio and television.
The Doug Gottlieb Show will broadcast from 3 to 6 p.m. A former standout college basketball player at Notre Dame and Oklahoma State, Gottlieb has emerged as one of CBS Sports’ most prominent voices.
