Peter Oosterhuis, the longtime CBS golf analyst who passed away at 75, was known for his in-depth knowledge of the game and his ability to connect with viewers. In a 2017 interview with Golf Digest, Oosterhuis discussed his work ethic and how he prepared for his broadcasts.
“To be honest, I spend a lot of time watching golf,” Oosterhuis said. “I watch the PGA Tour, the European Tour, and the LPGA Tour, as well as the Korn Ferry Tour and the Symetra Tour, and I read everything I can get my hands on about golf. I also talk to a lot of players, caddies, and coaches to get their insights on the game.”
Oosterhuis said that he also spends a lot of time preparing for his broadcasts. “I like to have a good understanding of the course we’re playing and the players in the field,” he said. “I want to be able to give viewers information and insights that they can’t get anywhere else.”
