May 2024 ยท 6 minute read

CBS Golf announcers female are Dottie Pepper and Amanda Renner. Pepper is the lead on-course reporter and Renner is a reporter and interviewer.

Pepper is a 17-time LPGA Tour event winner including two major championships in her career that started in 1988 and retired in 2004.

The former LPGA Player of the Year could not stay out of the game for long and wanted to be part of golf in any way possible. Immediately after retiring professionally, she started her broadcasting career with NBC and the Golf Channel.
