Amanda Balionis, a well-known face in the broadcasting world, has been presenting golf on screens for years and is reported to make a massive salary.
After graduating from Hofstra University in 2008, Balionis began her career reporting on high school sports for Verizon Fios Channel 1 and MSG Networks. In 2011, she moved to the PGA Tour as an in-house reporter and personality, creating digital content for the organisation's website.
She's presented major tournaments, and in the past year was briefly romantically linked to golfer Rory McIlroy during his short split from wife Erica Stoll. But, now the presenter is on to pastures new, to cover a new sport.

What is Amanda Balionis' net worth?
By 2018, CBS had made Balionis a full-time member of their team. It is estimated that she earned an annual salary ranging from $40,000 to $140,000, with her net worth around $1 million.
Given her significant contributions to golf, NFL and college football coverage, it's likely that Balionis' salary leans towards the higher end of that scale. Her long-standing tenure at CBS further enhances her value.
Over her six-year tenure with the broadcasting giant, Balionis has formed a close bond with many of her colleagues. Following Xander Schauffele's nail-biting win against Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy at last month's PGA Championship, the 39 year old lauded her CBS squad for their stellar work during the event.

Wrapping up her stint at Valhalla, she took to Instagram to express her gratitude: "One last post from Valhalla. Couldn't ask for a better team or better friends to make the best job in the world also the most fun," her post read, alongside photos with her team members. "The time, effort and hours put in behind-the-scenes to bring this Championship to life is insane. I'm forever grateful to be a small part of the greatest teams that consistently churn out an unmatched viewing experience."
