Former golf host slams Brandel Chamblee, gets shut down by Ian Poulter

 

Former Golf Channel host Peter Kessler has gone after the network’s current golf analyst Brandel Chamblee, as well as European Ryder Cup star Ian Poulter, for their latest social media posts on Twitter.

Chamblee posted on Twitter a breakdown of the correlation between driving distance and driving accuracy in relation to stroke average on the PGA Tour from 1980 through to 2017 - a fair comment and interesting stat you would think. PGA Tour pro Zac Blair then got involved, shortly before Kessler launched his attack on Chamblee.

 

 

 

 

 

Chamblee has not responded to Kessler's comments.

Kessler then got bored of Chamblee and decided to take dead aim at Ian Poulter, who had just posted a picture of him in a Ferrari simulator. As expected, the Englishman quickly shut him down...

 

 

Back in 2002, Kessler contended “he got too big for the Golf Channel’s comfort level,” which led to his departure.

“Senior management resented my work,” he said. “They resented the press I received. They told me my status caused tension [with the other personalities].”
