LIV Golfs new host had brother-sister | Golf News

LIV Golf has announced that former Sky Sports presenter Henni Zuel will be a part of the broadcasting workforce forward of the 2026 season.

Zuel was a former Ladies European Tour participant but also grew to become a outstanding face on the Sky Sports Golf workforce after retiring. She has also labored for GolfTV and Discovery, establishing a close relationship with Tiger Woods on her assignments, but will now be a part of LIV Golf.

Working with Woods was the rationale Zuel left her position at Sky Sports, as it was an alternative she could not move up. Zuel has shown her emotional facet during golf broadcasts on a number of events and was diminished to tears after Rory McIlroy received the Masters this yr.

After working with Sky Sports following her retirement from golf, Zuel obtained a call that would change her life. In 2019, Zuel moved to the U.S. to work for GolfTV after listening to that she’d spend exclusive time with Woods.

“It was a shock,” Zuel told GolfMonth-to-month. “But when you get that call, you say yes! I grew up idolizing Tiger. What I didn’t expect was how well we’d get on, as we instantly fell into this big-brother, annoying-little-sister dynamic.”

Woods is one of the most well-known athletes in historical past, and while observing a quiet non-public life, he makes an attempt to keep his circle close. However, Zuel and Woods grew to become close associates, as she explained: “There are certain people you just click with, and others where you think, ‘Oh no, you’re not my person.’

“With Tiger, the rapport was there from the start, and that made all the distinction.”

Zuel began creating regular content with Woods, and she believes that their time together has benefited her career due to the knowledge she gained. “We had so a lot freedom to dream up concepts,” Zuel said. “I bear in mind rigging up a car in Mexico so we might movie on the drive from the course to the resort, just to maximize his time.

“I’d be up until 2 am overseeing edits. It felt like the most important edit on the planet because, well, it was Tiger Woods! His knowledge of golf is insane. We spent four years together, but even that was probably the tip of the iceberg in terms of what I learned from his knowledge of the game.

“But what stunned me was how inventive and artistic he’s in his method, not just the disciplined participant I imagined growing up. He is aware of when to be variety to himself and when to be harsh. It’s a good steadiness, most likely formed by both his mother and dad.”

Starting next season, Zuel will anchor pre-show coverage and deliver analysis throughout all four LIV Golf rounds, beginning with LIV Golf Riyadh in February. According to LIV Golf’s President of Business Operations, Chris Heck, Zuel is the “ideally suited voice for this new period.”
