This is actually cool AF. Katt Williams is taking his talents back to the fairway, this time as an on-course correspondent at the 2025 FedEx St. Jude Championship in Memphis. Known for his razor-sharp comedy and magnetic personality, the legendary comedian will once again join forces with ESPN analyst Michael Collins to cover the PGA Tour Live broadcast.
In case you missed it, the dynamic duo previously brought laughs and insight at the 2024 Tour Championship, and they’re set to reunite for this first leg of the FedExCup Playoffs. Williams will be on the mic Thursday, August 7, and Friday, August 8, starting at 9 a.m. ET, delivering his one-of-a-kind commentary as golf’s top players chase playoff glory.
Get this, in a recent interview with the Hollywood Reporter, Williams broke down his own golf game and explained why he holds a 19 handicap.
“OK, so I had to establish a handicap when I tore my rotator cuff. So, I came in as a 19 handicap, but I shoot low 80s,” Williams said. “You certainly don’t want to bet me! I know it won’t be that when I get ready to do it again. Eighty-three is a good and gettable score for me all across the country at excellent courses.”
For Williams, the game runs deeper than scorecards and sand traps.
“The thing that I like about golf is that it permeates so many different parts of your life,” he said. “It’s not like it fixes everything, but it gives you a new parameter for things. The first four holes not going to your liking? It has the ability to ruin the day, but it [doesn’t have to]. You can fix this front nine, you see? And level this front nine out to where you can still have a good 18.”
Whether he’s dropping gems about life or breaking down bunker shots, Katt’s return to PGA Tour coverage is sure to blend humor with heart. Golf fans can catch all the action on PGA Tour Live via ESPN+ and streaming on Peacock throughout the tournament.
