John Maginnes is a former PGA Tour player who spent more than a decade and a half playing professional golf. While recovering from elbow surgery in 2004, John was offered an opportunity as a USA Network on-course commentator covering Thursday and Friday rounds on the PGA Tour. With microphone in hand, John found his second passion. He stayed with USA Network until the Golf Channel contract took over early round coverage in 2007. He joined the XM Team in 2005 and started Maginnes on Tap in March of 2011. John grew up in a golf family in Durham, North Carolina. He is the youngest of four and was given the opportunity to play golf at an early age. By the time he was in sixth grade he had decided that he was going to become a PGA Tour player and would spend seemingly endless hours working on his game year round. John is a proud East Carolina University Pirate and resides with his wife and young son in Wilmington, NC. He stopped by Pine Needles Lodge & Golf Club a couple weeks before the 2022 U.S. Women's Open to preview the championship for his Katrek & Maginnes on Tap show on Sirius XM PGA Tour Radio. Listen as John reflects on his playing career, life as a broadcaster and his latest musings about the PGA Tour. @United States Golf Association (USGA) @PGA TOUR @SiriusXM @East Carolina University #pineneedles #southernpinesnc #sandhillsnc @Visit NC Industry Partners
