It’s not only the PGA Tour pros who are preparing for a trip to Quail Hollow for the PGA Championship. Amanda Balionis, who was incredibly grateful for the opportunity to work on Augusta National with Jim Nantz, too, is looking forward to it. At Augusta, she delivered an amazing in-depth analysis of the action and captured the emotions of many players as an on-course correspondent. Now her next task is the 2025 PGA Championship, and she is working very hard to prepare for it.

A few hours ago, Balionis shared glimpses from her shoot at Quail Hollow. Representing CBS, the famed reporter was seen in front of the camera as she was working on a segment for the 2025 PGA Championship. The 38-year-old also revealed that the segment would release on May 10, 2025, at 1.30 P.M. (EST). More recently, Balionis posted another story showing how she is preparing for the major event.

Putting in the work at the gym, the clip included a caption “There’s almost nothing I hate more than a bench lunge… the drama happening in my head is outrageous during these 😂.” She may hate doing every set of bench lunges, but Balionis showcased impressive form in her routine.

Despite the infamous dating rumors about them, she didn’t hesitate to interview Rory McIlroy hours after he won the Green Jacket, showing how incredibly passionate she is.
