NEW YORK, Sept. 17, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- SiriusXM
today announced that LPGA star Natalie
Gulbis and top instructor Debbie
Doniger will team up to host a new monthly show on SiriusXM
PGA TOUR Radio (XM channel 93, Sirius channel 208).
Doniger and Gulbis will make their debut live from the SiriusXM
studios in New York City on
Wednesday, September 24 at
2:00 pm ET. The Golfer Girls
with Natalie Gulbis and Debbie Doniger will focus on, but not be
limited to, the world of women's golf. Doniger and Gulbis
will discuss the LPGA and PGA TOUR and share swing tips for every
level of player looking to improve their games. They will
also invite celebrities on the show to discuss the game and will
segue into topics ranging from fashion to music and
entertainment.
"I have always enjoyed interacting with the media and talking
about golf, and this partnership with SiriusXM gives me the
opportunity to share my perspective directly with the audience,"
said Gulbis. "Debbie and I look forward to offering our insights on
everything in the world of golf – and many of our interests beyond
the sport – to SiriusXM PGA TOUR Radio listeners."
"Natalie and I can't wait to deliver to a largely underserved
niche in our sport," said Doniger. "We will build a place for
women to share our passion for the lifestyle and fun of the golf
world. We will explore the latest information on fitness,
instruction, entertainment, golf-supported philanthropies, clubs,
courses, equipment, and fashion. So tune in and join us for a
conversation you won't find anywhere else!"
"Natalie and Debbie make a terrific team and their experience
playing and teaching the game gives them an exceptional point of
view on their sport," said Scott
Greenstein, SiriusXM's President and Chief Content
Officer. "Their personality and perspective on golf and the
world beyond it will make this a fun and engaging addition to
SiriusXM PGA TOUR Radio."
