Darius Rucker to Host New Golf Show on SiriusXM

by Jim Casey | @TheJimCasey | July 24, 2017

Avid golfer Darius Rucker is parlaying his favorite hobby into a gig on SiriusXM as the host of a new show, On Par With Darius Rucker.

The monthly show, which will debut on July 26, will feature Darius chatting with other celebrities and professional golfers about the worlds of golf and entertainment.

“They say that rock stars want to be pro athletes, and pro athletes want to be rock stars, and there is definitely some truth to that,” said Darius. “It’s no secret that music and golf are two passions of mine. I’ve been lucky enough to play with and get to know well some of the best golfers on tour. While we’re on the course, I’m looking for swing tips and all they want to do is talk music. SiriusXM is the perfect place to blend both of those worlds into one show, and I am really excited to get started.”

On Par With Darius Rucker will debut on July 26, 3 p.m. to 4 p.m., on Sirius channel 208, XM channel 92 and on the SiriusXM app.
