Mark Carnevale, PGA Tour Winner Turned Announcer, Dies at 64

Former PGA Tour winner turned broadcaster Mark Carnevale has died at the age of 64, PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan announced on Monday (July 23).

“Mark was a beloved part of the TOUR family for a long time," Monahan said. "He was a member of that elite club, a PGA TOUR winner, and then he held numerous roles within the industry, most recently as a significant voice in PGA TOUR Radio’s coverage. Mark knew the game and did a terrific job of conveying insights from his unique point of view – and with an engaging wit and sense of humor – to fans from countless TOUR events through the years. We will miss Mark and send our condolences to his loved ones.”

Carnevale's death comes one week after covering the Scottish Open and he was scheduled to contribute to the 3M Open broadcast in Minnesota this week. A cause of death has not yet been publicly revealed and the PGA Tour said it happened suddenly.

Carnevale appeared in 212 PGA Tour events as a player, earning Rookie of the Year honors and winning the Chattanooga Classic in 1992 at the age of 32. The Maryland native would later make 66 Korn Ferry Tour starts during his playing career and eventually became the tournament director of its Virginia Beach Open event in 2003.
