CBS reporter Amanda Balionis “lost a lot of sleep” interviewing Tiger Woods
Early in her career as a reporter, Amanda Balionis “lost a lot of sleep” before speaking with Tiger Woods.
While taking part in a poll, the 39-year-old CBS reporter was asked which “athlete or talent she was most nervous to interview,” and she admitted that her “legs were shaking uncontrollably with excitement” when she sat down next to 15-time winners of major tournaments. “Tiger Woods, of course. When I started with pgatour.com, I think the Tiger was my second seated interview. “I’m so grateful the camera filmed me from the waist up. My legs were shaking with excitement. I lost a lot of sleep before this interview,” Balionis said. Balionis joined the PGA Tour in 2011 before joining CBS in 2017.
Elsewhere in his chat with Links, Balionis shared the most memorable moment of his broadcasting career so far. “A few come to mind,” she says. — Dustin Johnson interviewed after winning the 2020 Masters, when he got vulnerable with us. The president of the trophy presentation after PHIL MICKELSON won the PGA 2021 championship was incredible. Understand historical elements, and witnesses a crowd that exceeds that 72nd green. That’s an image I never forget. “”
In 2017, Amanda Varilionis moved to CBS and interviewed Robert McKin Tire in Scotland during the Canada opening in June 2024.

On August 13, she said goodbye to the channel’s 2024 golf season. “The @golfoncbs 2024 season is officially over! This year has had it all. From historic moments to heartbreaking events and every emotion imaginable in between. I love this game. I love working in sports. “Competing at the highest level requires and produces constant examples of inspiration, drama, unbridled joy, resilience, growth and teamwork,” Balionis wrote.
His post included a roundup of moments from the season, including Rory McIlroy’s win at the Wells Fargo Championship in May 2024 and unfounded rumors about a romance between the PGA Tour star and his wife, Erica Stoll. “I’m honored to be part of the incredible team that brings these moments and stories to life every weekend,” Balionis said. “If we leave you with a new favorite player or a memorable moment to share with your loved ones, then we’ve done our job. Until next season, see you on the NFL sidelines!”
