announced today that Michael Breed,
one of the game's foremost instructors, has signed a new multi-year

"SiriusXM PGA TOUR Radio has been a fantastic platform for me to
connect with a nationwide audience of golfers who are as passionate
about the game as I am," said Breed. "I am thrilled and
grateful for the opportunity to now expand A New Breed of
Golf to five days a week and reach more people than ever
before. SiriusXM's commitment to world class innovative
programing, and a collaborative mindset with my longtime sponsors
have set the standard in media."
