Former voice of the Chicago White Sox Ken “Hawk” Harrelson has been out of the booth since 2018. However, he says that retiring wasn’t his choice and that he was forced to hang up his microphone.
Harrelson is 81 these days, and some quick, impressive math reveals that he was approximately 76 years old when he rode off into the proverbial sunset.

The rivalry between the PGA Tour and LIV Golf is legitimate, but some players who have made the jump to the Saudi-backed circuit are claiming the rivalry only really exists on paper.
The biggest storyline heading into the Masters next week will undoubtedly be about the 18 LIV golfers in the field, how they play, and any drama that may or may not develop between them and PGA Tour players at Augusta National.
