Profile: Van Pelt a familiar face to golf fans

Before becoming one of the most popular personalities on ESPN, Scott Van Pelt started out with The Golf Channel ('94-00).  He joined ESPN in 2001, and has certainly made his mark.  Over time, he has been promoted to anchor on the SportsCenter desk, and now, even has his own radio show. 

Van Pelt still covers the majors for the network, and his vast golf knowledge is impressive.  With Tom Rinaldi's compelling reports, ESPN's golf product has been taken to another level.  In fact, we find Van Pelt, Andy North, and Rinaldi better than any trio TGC has put together (we do like Rich Lerner and Sands as a duo).

In the sports blogosphere, Van Pelt is as popular as the renowned Gus Johnson of CBS Sports.  And that says a lot...
