Paige Spiranac, the former LPGA professional, was eager to take on a new role at The Match Superstars, responding to a fan’s suggestion with an enthusiastic “Put me in coach I’m ready lol.” However, it seems like TNT might have missed an opportunity to bring her on board. Instead, the network announced its broadcasting team for The Showdown 2024, featuring Ernie Johnson, Charles Barkley, Trevor Immelman, and David Feherty.

While this lineup is certainly impressive, one can’t help but wonder what could have been if Paige Spiranac were part of the team. The Showdown 2024 is shaping up to be an exciting event, with Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy from the PGA Tour facing off against Brooks Koepka and Bryson DeChambeau from LIV Golf. The tournament will take place on December 17 at the Shadow Creek Golf Course, and fans can catch all the action on TNT.

In addition to the main broadcasting team, Bubba Watson will serve as the on-course correspondent, and Lauren Jbara will be the course reporter. While Spiranac might not be part of the lineup, this team is certainly well-equipped to bring the excitement of The Showdown to life. TNT’s broadcasting team will undoubtedly bring a high level of energy and expertise to the coverage of The Showdown 2024.

With its star-studded lineup and prize money, this event promises to be an unforgettable experience for golf fans.

The fact that these four golfing legends are coming together for this event is a testament to the growing consensus that the game needs to be reunited for the good of the sport.

The event is set to begin at 11 pm GMT, with TNT holding the broadcast rights in the United States, Ireland, and the United Kingdom.
