Charles Barkley plans to put his wicked slice on display in the LIV Golf Series Pro-Am at Trump National in Bedminster, New Jersey, and a broadcasting role could soon follow, the New York Post reported Thursday.
Barkley has a three-year contract worth $30 million with TNT, working multiple events including the Emmy-winning "Inside the NBA" studio show alongside Ernie Johnson, Kenny Smith and Shaquille O'Neal.
Barkley, referred to as a "notorious hack" by Hornets owner Michael Jordan, has a large following and became known as an anything goes analyst with Turner Sports.
The LIV Golf Series began in June, paying immense, guaranteed contracts to golfers to join the new tour and leave established PGA Tour behind. Some players have pointed to the lighter schedule of events as a tipping point in their decision.
Broadcaster David Feherty is reportedly close to officially joining LIV from NBC Sports. Arlo White, formerly of NBC, also joined the LIV Tour.
The Post reported Barkley dined with Greg Norman in Atlanta on Wednesday, adding, "Norman is going to next prepare Barkley an offer."
Prominent players, including Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy, have criticized the Saudi-funded circuit as a money grab.
Phil Mickelson, Brooks Koepka, Bryson DeChambeau, Sergio Garcia and Ian Poulter are among the professional golfers who have aligned with LIV Golf.
