According to Golf World writer and Golf Channel Insider Tim Rosaforte, the senior vice president of programming, production, and operations at The Golf Channel has left. Rosaforte writes, "In a move that shocked most of its talent and production personnel, Golf Channel President Page Thompson sent out an inter-office memo on Wednesday explaining that (Don) McGuire...had 'left the Golf Channel.'" McGuire, who still had one year left on his contract, played a big part in The Golf Channel's broadcasting of PGA Tour action and was a strong supporter of it's personnel. He told Golf World, "I was told by our President that they want to make a change."
