Ex-Golf Channel Colleague Calls Brandel Chamblee a ‘Bully’ in New Book

LIV Golf’s Brooks Koepka winning the PGA Championship on Sunday didn’t sit well with many LIV critics. Included in that is Golf Channel’s Brandel Chamblee. He has been one of the most outspoken people toward the new league and even found himself having lawsuits filed against him by the likes of Patrick Reed.

While those suits have not held up, the pushback against Chamblee has not abated.

Not long after Koepka’s victory, fellow Golf Channel analyst Brad Faxon argued that the PGA Champion should be eligible to be chosen for the U.S. Ryder Cup team despite his ban from the PGA Tour. Chamblee, of course, disagreed.

Former Golf Channel reporter Lisa Cornwell is out with a book called “Troublemaker.” In it, there’s a chapter devoted to why she calls Chamblee a bully.

“He’s a bully, plain and simple. I mean, those of us that have worked closely with him and dealt with his tirades understand it. I mean, I watched it to [the Faxon clip] and it’s interesting.”

“This is not a PGA Tour event in terms of the Ryder Cup, it is a PGA of America event. I certainly think that he has earned that spot [but] that will be the choice of the captain. How could you go against that?

“But it was really the reaction of Brad and that whole bullying mentality, like, ‘I’m right, you’re wrong and how dare you take this stance against me’.

Glad that @bykaren asked about an important part of my book, #Troublemaker, that’s out tomorrow. 👊
