Bob Harig Laid Off as Sports Illustrated Slashes Golf Coverage
Longtime golf writer Bob Harig was among those laid off by Sports Illustrated last week as the publication appears to be slashing its golf coverage.
Along with Harig, golf editors Jeff Ritter and John Schwarb were also laid off, according to Front Office Sports.
“Being one of the subjects of a story is admittedly uneasy. Thanks to those who have reached out here and elsewhere. It is much appreciated. More to come,” wrote Harig on social media.
Harig has been covering professional golf for more than 25 years, including 15 years at ESPN.
He is the author of three books including Tiger vs Jack, DRIVE: The Lasting Legacy of Tiger Woods and Tiger and Phil: Golf’s Most Fascinating Rivalry
Harig came on the Golf Dudes Podcast several years ago.
