My playing days are not totally over, as I will play select events, but my focus now shifts to broadcasting. I have been fortunate to spend a lot of time with the men and women of CBS Sports, and I look forward to getting started in January.”

Love will make his CBS Sports debut as an announcer on Sat., Jan. 25, 2020 at the Famers Insurance Open when the Network tees off its 2020 golf season. This follows The RSM Classic, for which Love serves as tournament host in November.

“We enjoy working with Davis in his role as a member of Team RSM and tournament host of The RSM Classic,” said Andy Bosman, chief marketing officer with RSM US LLP. “Every day through his actions, Davis demonstrates his commitment to the core values of respect, integrity, teamwork, excellence and stewardship – values that we at RSM share. And we know Davis will bring those same values to his role as a golf analyst with CBS Sports. Congratulations, Davis! You can bet your friends at RSM will be tuning in.”

Love started his professional career in 1985, and won his first PGA TOUR event in 1987. Throughout his illustrious playing career, he ranked in the Top 10 in the Official Golf World Rankings for more than 450 weeks while winning 21 PGA TOUR events, including the 1992 and 2003 THE PLAYERS Championship and the PGA Championship in 1997.

Along with his play on the course, Love has consistently been honored for his demeanor off it, winning the USGA’s Bob Jones Award in 2013, the PGA TOUR Payne Stewart Award in 2008, and the Jim Murray Award in 2016, presented by the Golf Writers Association of America each year to the golfer who best cooperates with the media. He also has been elected by his fellow players to the PGA TOUR policy board four times.
