NEW YORK, Jan. 14, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- SiriusXM announced
today that instructor Claude Harmon
III will host a new series on SiriusXM PGA TOUR Radio
(Sirius channel 208, XM channel 93).
Harmon III, one of Golf Digest's 50 Best Teachers, will
make his radio debut live from the SiriusXM set at the PGA
Merchandise Show in Orlando, FL,
on Wednesday, January 21 at
12:00 pm ET. He will be joined
on set by his father, legendary instructor Butch Harmon.
The new show, which will air monthly, will showcase the unique
teaching ability that has made the Harmon family name so respected
throughout the golfing world. It will be dedicated to helping
players at every level improve their game and listeners can call in
to the show to ask questions, seek instructional tips, or discuss
the headline stories from the world of golf.
"I am very excited to be a part of SiriusXM PGA TOUR Radio,"
said Harmon III. "SiriusXM has an amazing and diverse roster
of players, instructors and golf personalities. I look
forward to sharing my knowledge, experiences and views on golf
instruction and the world of golf."
"Claude is continuing the exceptional teaching tradition of the
Harmon family. We're pleased to have him share that knowledge and
expertise on SiriusXM PGA TOUR Radio to help our listeners improve
and enjoy the game more," said Scott
Greenstein, SiriusXM's President and Chief Content Officer.
"He's a terrific addition to the channel and we're excited to have
him debut next week alongside Butch at the PGA Merchandise
Show."
Claude Harmon III - the director
of instruction at the Butch Harmon Learning Center at the Floridian
in south Florida - is in the
vanguard of the new generation of golf teachers, and the Harmon
family pedigree has been the perfect foundation for Claude to build
his knowledge of golf instruction. He is uniquely qualified to
apply "new school" teaching concepts in an "old school" fashion and
his teaching philosophy and methods have delivered lower scores and
better, more repeatable swings for seasoned tour players,
celebrities, and amateurs of all abilities. Claude worked
full time on the European Tour from 2002-2006, traveling around the
world coaching some of golf's best players. His past and
present students include Adam Scott,
Darren Clarke, Trevor Immelman, Gary
Woodland, Brooks Koepka,
Peter Uihlein, Frederik Jacobson, Graeme McDowell and Ernie Els.
SiriusXM PGA TOUR Radio offers the best daily golf talk, news,
analysis and instruction on radio. The roster of talent on
the channel features several World Golf Hall of Fame members,
current and former PGA TOUR and LPGA pros, as well as several of
the game's leading instructors. In addition to Harmon III,
listeners get shows hosted by Ben
Crenshaw, Fred Couples,
Nick Faldo, Annika Sorenstam, Hubert
Green, Ian Poulter,
John Daly, John Mahaffey, Chris
DiMarco, Natalie Gulbis,

Jim McLean, Bob Ford, Debbie
Doniger, Jeff Warne,
