Geno Bonnalie takes the mic in PGA TOUR LIVE debut

Geno Bonnalie Makes PGA TOUR LIVE Debut as Commentator

Geno Bonnalie, known for his role as caddie to Joel Dahmen, is set to make his PGA TOUR LIVE debut as a commentator during the second round of the Sanderson Farms Championship. He will provide commentary on the featured group consisting of Cameron Champ, Scott Stallings, and defending champion Mackenzie Hughes.

Bonnalie will have a unique schedule on Friday, as he will first caddie for Joel Dahmen during his round in the morning and then transition to his role as a commentator in the afternoon for the featured group. He jokingly mentioned that he might call in sick for the afternoon shift if Dahmen shoots an exceptional score in the morning.

Bonnalie and Dahmen's story has gained recognition, thanks in part to the Netflix series "Full Swing," which featured a heartfelt letter written by Bonnalie to Dahmen explaining why he wanted to caddie for his friend. The series showcased their close bond and shared experiences on the PGA TOUR.

While Bonnalie does not plan to pursue broadcasting as a full-time career, he sees this opportunity as a one-off experience. He believes that his perspective as an active caddie will offer viewers unique insights into the game. He expressed confidence in his ability to provide valuable commentary and insights during the broadcast.

The opportunity for Bonnalie to join PGA TOUR LIVE came about quickly, with the agency arranging his appearance through the FedExCup Fall. Bonnalie had a brief experience calling golf alongside former TOUR winner and current broadcaster John Rollins during a tournament, which sparked his interest in broadcasting.

Bonnalie's debut as a commentator will be an exciting moment, and he hopes to add a new dimension to the viewers' experience by sharing his caddie's perspective and golf knowledge.

Joel Dahmen will tee off in the morning, while the featured group of Hughes, Champ, and Stallings will play in the afternoon. Bonnalie is prepared to make the most of this unique opportunity and provide fans with entertaining insights into the game of golf.
