Mr. Roberts is a 13-time Emmy Award-winning broadcaster and writer known most recently for his work on NBC and the Golf Channel as an essayist, interviewer, feature reporter and studio host, covering the PGA tour and such high-profile events as the Ryder Cup.

In 2009, Harper Collins published Mr. Roberts’ first book, Breaking the Slump, which deals with how some of the best golfers to ever play the game – as well as one former president and one Olympic gold medalist – dug themselves out of career-threatening dry spells. The book was critically praised in Newsweek, the New York Times, The Wall Street Journal and Sports Illustrated. Mr. Roberts also serves as the voice of Masters.com, the website chronicling what happens on golf’s biggest stage each year. Over a career that spans more than 30 years in broadcasting and journalism, he has earned numerous distinctions, including a Golf Writers Association of America award and Emmy awards for writing, best feature, journalism, and individual achievement.
