Notah Begay is putting down the microphone and picking up the golf clubs.
The long-time Golf Channel on-course reporter and analyst has entered the Advocates Professional Golf Association’s event at the Champions Course at TPC Scottsdale. The two-day, 36-hole stroke play tournament will be Monday and Tuesday. Begay is in the field as a special guest participant.
The APGA Tour field includes Kamaiu Johnson, who won a weather-shortened event in Las Vegas last Tuesday, as well as the 2021 TPC Scottsdale event winner Ryan Alford. Willie Mack III, Aaron Beverly, Kevin Hall and Tim O’Neal are also in the field.
Begay is in the first group off with O’Neal and Mack at 10:06 a.m. local time (1:06 p.m. ET).
Begay has four wins on the PGA Tour. Prior to turning pro, he was a college teammate of Tiger Woods at Stanford when the Cardinal won the NCAA championship in 1994.
Begay devotes much of his time to the NB3 Foundation, which provides health and wellness education for the American Indian youth.
