The Golf Channel 's news program. It was launched in 1995, in the same year as the network it airs on.A nightly half-hour show, "Golf Central" features news and highlights from the major
golf tours and events of the world, in addition to on-site reports from tournaments.Format
The show's format involving anchors varies — sometimes there is just one anchor on the desk for a show; sometimes an anchor is joined by an analyst for tournament recaps; or two anchors will be used. With the recent additions of new talent for the show, the latter format has been utilized more recently. It should also be noted that there is never one mainstay anchor team, as anchor teams vary from night to night.
From Thursdays through Sundays during tournament play, from 9 AM Eastern to 4 PM, one single anchor will give half-hourly updates on current tournament leaderboards.
