NEW YORK, April 4, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- World Golf
Hall of Fame member and 1992 Masters Champion Fred Couples will host a live Masters preview
show on SiriusXM tomorrow, April 5
(6:00-8:00 pm ET/3:00-5:00 pm PT).
The special edition of The Fred Couples Show will feature
Couples and co-host George Downing
previewing this year's Masters Tournament and its
competitors. Couples announced earlier today that he will not
compete in this year's Tournament because of ongoing back
problems. The show will air live nationwide on SiriusXM PGA
TOUR Radio (Sirius channel 208, XM channel 92 on satellite radios
and on the SiriusXM app).
Couples will share some of his favorite memories from Augusta
National, where he has had extraordinary success. He won the
Masters by two strokes in 1992, has recorded eleven top 10 finishes
in his career there, and in recent years continued to play his way
onto the leaderboard among players much younger than him.
Remarkably, since his 50th birthday Couples has finished in the top
20 at the Masters five times, including a sixth place finish in
2010.
In addition to discussing this year's tournament Couples, a
die-hard sports fan, will talk with his audience about several of
the headline topics across the sports world – the start of MLB
season, the just concluded NCAA Tournament, NBA and more.
"Fred has an exceptional history at Augusta and a special perspective on the
Tournament. His show is a terrific addition to our Masters
week coverage," said Scott
Greenstein, SiriusXM's President and Chief Content
Officer. "We're pleased and grateful to have him sharing
that, along with his passion for all sports, with our listeners
this week."
One of the game's most popular players, Couples' resume includes
15 PGA TOUR wins. A fixture for the
United States in international team competitions, he played
on five Ryder Cup teams and four Presidents Cup teams, and
captained the winning Presidents Cup teams in 2009, 2011 and
2013. He has 11 victories on the Champions Tour since joining
that circuit in 2010, and he was inducted into the World Golf Hall
of Fame in 2013.
