CBS has long been criticized for its golf broadcasts, accused of little to no ingenuity with a stale viewing experience.
However, if its first round of 2023 is any indication, golf fans should be happy with the direction CBS is heading in.
Max Homa agreed to wear a microphone on the par-5 13th hole at Torrey Pines during the third round of the Farmers Insurance Open. Throughout the segment, the broadcasters peppered him with questions, yearning to learn more about his mindset and process.
All in all, it was a success. In fact, with Homa going on to win, maybe others will seek out their turn next.
Twitter users approved, many saying they were looking forward to the next one and that got us thinking: who should be next?
Kudos to @maxhoma23 for allowing @GolfonCBS to mic him up during the third round.
Who do you think should be the next PGA Tour player to wear a mic?

Here are six players we hope agree to be part of the new mic’d-up segment.
