EMMY-NOMINATED GOLF CHANNEL ORIGINAL SERIES FEHERTY RETURNS FOR 10TH SEASON; PREMIERES MONDAY, FEB. 24

Initial Lineup of Guests to Include Major Champions Henrik Stenson, Gary Woodland and Suzann Pettersen, Along with Sports Broadcaster Scott Van Pelt

Farmers Insurance^® Returns for Fourth Season as Series’ Presenting Sponsor

Preview: Season 10 Premiere Episode with Henrik Stenson

ORLANDO, Fla. (Feb. 13, 2020) – GOLF Channel’s Emmy-nominated original series Feherty presented by Farmers Insurance^® returns for a 10th season, premiering Monday, Feb. 24. David Feherty – a two-time Emmy-nominated host of the self-titled series – will welcome Henrik Stenson, 2016 Open champion and silver medalist at the 2016 Rio Games, for the season premiere episode.
“I can’t believe the show has gone as long as it has, and that I still have people left to interview,” said Feherty. “It’s a wonder that I’ve managed to con 10 seasons worth of guests into sitting next to me for an extended period. It’s also somewhat alarming that the bar for what is considered good television remains just high enough for me to crawl underneath it.”

In addition to Stenson, the initial run of guests (airing Monday nights at 9 p.m. ET) will include fellow major champions Gary Woodland and Suzann Pettersen, along with ESPN anchor Scott Van Pelt and financial executive Charles Schwab:
Feb. 24 Henrik Stenson
March 2 Scott Van Pelt
March 16 Gary Woodland
March 23 Charles Schwab
March 30 Suzann Pettersen
A two-time Emmy-nominated host (Outstanding Sports Personality – Studio Host), Feherty’s series initially debuted in June 2011, and has welcomed nearly 140 guests since the show’s inaugural episode. The 10th season of Feherty has 15 episodes slated to air in 2020. 

Farmers Insurance^® returns as the series’ presenting sponsor for the fourth consecutive season. Feherty is produced by GOLF Channel’s Emmy-nominated original productions division, which also is responsible for the production of the network’s critically acclaimed GOLF Films.

Described as “golf’s iconoclast,” by Rolling Stone, and “golf’s wisecracking, maverick interviewer,” by Esquire, Feherty’s all-star lineup of golf-enthused and culturally relevant guests feature celebrities from across entertainment, sports and politics. To date, Feherty has sat down with four U.S. Presidents (Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, Barack Obama and Donald Trump); sports legends Charles Barkley, Stephen Curry and Nick Saban; Hollywood icons Matthew McConaughey, Kevin Hart and Larry David; World Golf of Fame members Fred Couples, Bernhard Langer, Nancy Lopez, Jack Nicklaus, Annika Sorenstam, Lee Trevino and Tom Watson; and a host of current golf superstars led by Rory McIlroy, Brooks Koepka, Jon Rahm and Justin Thomas.

ORLANDO, Fla.

"Success at this level isn't by accident, and Brooks, Bryson and Tony each have unique traits and backgrounds that allowed them to chart their own distinct path on TOUR. It's not hard to imagine that - in a few decades - one, or more of them may wind up joining Fred in the Hall of Fame."

A two-time Emmy-nominated host (Outstanding Sports Personality - Studio Host), Feherty's series initially debuted in June 2011, and celebrated the 100 episode milestone in 2017.

[via press release from Golf Channel] "FEHERTY" CELEBRATES 100 EPISODE MILESTONE WITH SPECIAL 90-MINUTE SHOW FEATURING SPECIAL GUESTS: LEE TREVINO, JOHN DALY & GARY MCCORD
Episode to Premiere on Monday, July 24 at 9 p.m. ET; Feature a Multi-Guest Conversation and Recount Best Moments from Series' Seven Seasons to-Date

ORLANDO, Fla., July 13, 2017 - Golf Channel today announced that Emmy-nominated host David Feherty and his self-titled, Emmy-nominated series, Feherty, will celebrate the show's milestone 100th episode with a 90-minute special, premiering Monday, July 24 at 9 p.m. ET. The celebratory episode will feature a relaxed conversation with three of Feherty's previous 99 guests: Lee Trevino - the series' very first guest - John Daly and Gary McCord, and be filmed in front of a live audience.
"Starting with our first guest, Lee Trevino - my childhood idol - back in 2011, Golf Channel has been kind - or stupid - enough to give me this wonderful platform to have candid conversations with icons from different walks of life," said Feherty. "So it's fitting to have Lee, along with John and Gary help me recount some of my favorite memories from 100 episodes in a humbling and fulfilling way. It's hard to believe no one has pulled the plug on us yet, but we'll keep trying to find ways to make them reconsider!"

Since its initial premiere in June 2011, Feherty has featured iconic guests from across the worlds of entertainment, politics, business, sports and golf. Notable achievements ("by the numbers") for the collective list of the series' first 99 guests are highlighted by:
· 2,308 electoral votes (four presidents across seven elections, 7-0 record)
· 1,249 cumulate victories: 883 combined on PGA TOUR and LPGA Tours, along with 214 on the European Tour and 152 on the PGA TOUR Champions
· 1,175 NFL touchdowns
· 121 major championships, 25 World Golf Hall of Famers, 224 Ryder Cup appearances
· 79 MVPs (NFL, NBA, Heisman Trophy; PGA TOUR POY, LPGA POY, European Tour Order of Merit); 57 Championship rings (NFL, NBA, NCAA); 36 Olympic Medals

· 4 Oscar nominations (1 win), 109 Emmy nominations, 7 "Person[s] of the Year" (TIME)
Upcoming scheduled guests for the remainder of the season for Feherty include NBC News' Matt Lauer (Monday, July 31); World Long Hall of Fame member Jackie Burke; Grammy Award-winning musician Darius Rucker and major champion Louis Oosthuizen.

The 100th episode (and promotion leading up to it) will feature personalized messages from several icons (past guests and others) wishing Feherty a "Happy 100th," including: U.S. Presidents George W. Bush and Donald Trump; major champions Jordan Spieth, Martin Kaymer, Lee Janzen and Padraig Harrington; baseball standouts Jon Lester, Tom Glavine, John Smoltz and Kevin Millar; entertainment stars Rob Riggle and Larry the Cable Guy; and several others.

Described as "golf's iconoclast," by Rolling Stone, and "the last unscripted man on TV," by Men's Journal, Feherty has gone one-on-one with celebrities across golf, sports, entertainment, politics and business, including four U.S. Presidents: Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, Barack Obama, and Donald Trump; sports legends Bill Russell and Charles Barkley; Hollywood icons Samuel L. Jackson and Larry David; coaches Nick Saban and Bob Knight; as well a list of golfing greats spanning Jack Nicklaus, Phil Mickelson, Lee Trevino, Annika Sorenstam, and many others. He has made a name for himself not only through his self-titled Golf Channel talk show, but as one of the most irrepressible personalities calling golf over the past two decades. Beyond golf, Feherty continues to capture new and broader audiences with his wit and self-deprecating nature. A native of Northern Ireland and a former professional golfer who claimed 10 worldwide victories and a spot on the 1991 European Ryder Cup team, Feherty is now a proud American citizen who has risen above a history of alcoholism and addiction to become an Emmy-nominated television host, New York Times best-selling author and comedic relief for thousands of men and women in uniform.

[via press release from Golf Channel] SEASON 7 OF FEHERTY KICKS OFF WITH WORLD GOLF HALL OF FAMER PHIL MICKELSON: PART I OF TWO-PART INTERVIEW PREMIERES MONDAY, MARCH 6 AT 9 P.M. ET
 
ORLANDO, Fla. (Feb. 27, 2017) - World Golf Hall of Fame member and five-time major champion Phil Mickelson will join Emmy-nominated television personality David Feherty next Monday, March 6 at 9 p.m. ET on the season premiere of Feherty. Part I of a two-part interview with Mickelson, the premiere will kick off the seventh season of the original series, which will celebrate the 100th episode milestone in 2017 and welcome Farmers Insurance(R) as the show's presenting sponsor.

A 42-time PGA TOUR winner, Mickelson has built a career around his flair for the dramatic and an aggressive playing style, with the sum of countless signature moments elevating him into one of the most beloved fan-favorites in the history of the sport. Filmed at the Fairmont Grand Del Mar in San Diego, Mickelson discusses a wide range of topics with Feherty, including:

· Winning his first Masters in 2004, and why his 2010 Masters victory was the first time he ever cried after winning a golf tournament.

· Justifying his second shot on the 13th hole at Augusta National from the pine straw in his final round of the same 2010 Masters, and explaining how it was a calculated "percentage play," accounting for the least margin of error.

· The outpouring of emotional support his family received from fans and the golf community when both his wife Amy and mother Mary were diagnosed with breast cancer just six weeks apart in 2009.
· Mickelson's relationship with Tiger Woods, including over the last few years working together to help improve the United States' Ryder Cup and Presidents Cup teams, and his overall appreciation for Woods' contributions to the sport.

· A comical exchange between Mickelson and David Toms from the 2002 Ryder Cup, where the two were paired together in foursomes at the Belfry.

Upcoming Guests on Feherty

Part II of Feherty's interview with Mickelson will premiere the following Monday, March 13 at 9 p.m. ET on Golf Channel. Other upcoming guests include:

· U.S. Ryder Cup hero and 5-time PGA TOUR winner, Patrick Reed (Monday, March 20)
· Former United States Secretary of State, Condoleezza Rice (Monday, March 27)
· Golden Globe and Academy Award-winning actor, Matthew McConaughey
Record viewership for Feherty in 2016

Season six of Feherty last year earned the highest "average viewers per minute" on both a Live+Same Day, and Live plus 3-day DVR playback basis since the series initially premiered in 2011. The two-part 2016 season premiere of the series featuring Jordan Spieth became the second and third most-watched Feherty premiere episodes on record (2011-2016) behind only the original series premiere the Monday following the U.S. Open in June 2011. Part II of Spieth's interview also became the most-watched premiere of any Golf Channel original production since Arnie on Masters Sunday in April 2014.

Feherty is coming off a banner year in 2016, highlighted by sitting down with now four U.S. Presidents: Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, Barack Obama, and Donald Trump; serving as an NBC Olympic correspondent in Rio; appearing on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon; being profiled on the Emmy award-winning HBO original series, Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel; and playing a key role in NBC Sports' unprecedented 12-week stretch of premier golf events beginning with The Open and concluding with the Ryder Cup.

Described as "golf's iconoclast," by Rolling Stone, and "a cross between Oprah Winfrey and Johnny Carson" by The New York Times, Feherty has made a name for himself not only through his self-titled Golf Channel talk show, but as one of the most irrepressible personalities calling golf over the past two decades. Beyond golf, Feherty continues to capture new and broader audiences with his wit and self-deprecating nature.
