Prediction: Feherty butters up Rupert Murdoch talking politics with him and gets the lead analyst job for the U.S. Open.

This sounds like a cash grab from the money hungry, unscrupulous USGA. The coverage for the events will be reduced, so clearly it isn't about exposure. Just money.

I hope this deal kills the USGA and their sanctimonious, blue blooded attitude from a long bygone era.
