Roger Maltbie Golf | Golf Swing

He turned professional in 1973, joined the PGA Tour in 1974, and played on the Tour full-time from 1975 to 1996. Maltbie won five official tour events between 1975 and 1985, including back-to-back wins in his first full year. Upon his win at the 1975 Pleasant Valley Classic, Maltbie left his $40,000 winner’s check behind in a bar. During his second year on tour, Maltbie won the inaugural Memorial Tournament by defeating Hale Irwin on the fourth hole of a sudden-death playoff.

In the playoff’s third hole, an errant shot by Maltbie seemed headed for the gallery when it hit a stake causing the ball to bounce onto the green instead. He had 55 top-10 finishes on the PGA Tour. He won two tournaments in 1985, earned $360,554 and finished 8th on the money list. Maltbie’s best finish in a major was T4 at the 1987 Masters Tournament.

He calls losing that tournament the biggest disappointment of his career. Maltbie began playing on the Senior PGA Tour after turning 50 in June 2001. Roger Maltbie’s best finish at this level is a 20th at the 2003 Bayer Advantage Celebrity Pro-Am. From 1991, Maltbie has worked as an on-course reporter and analyst for NBC Sports.

During this role, he has become well known as a jovial good-natured figure. Maltbie’s signature element is a “golf whisper”, necessitated by the fact that Maltbie generally stands much closer to the green than other on-course reporters.

In the 2002 and 2009 U.S. Opens, both contested at Bethpage State Park on Long Island, NBC ran features in which Maltbie spent a night camping out with several golfers while waiting in the infamous line to play Bethpage’s Black Course, the first municipal course to host the U.S. Open.
