COLT KNOST

Colt Knost is an American former professional golfer and current golf broadcaster who enjoyed one of the most accomplished amateur seasons of his generation. Born in Garrettsville, Ohio, and raised in Texas, Knost played college golf at Southern Methodist University (SMU), where he was an All-American and won a school-record seven tournaments. In 2007, he won both the U.S. Amateur and U.S. Amateur Public Links Championship, represented the United States on the victorious Walker Cup team, and rose to No. 1 in the World Amateur Golf Ranking.

Knost turned professional in 2007 and went on to make 199 PGA Tour starts while earning two victories on the Korn Ferry Tour. He retired from professional golf in 2020 and transitioned into broadcasting, becoming a regular part of CBS Sports' PGA Tour coverage and co-hosting the Subpar podcast. In 2026, CBS elevated Knost to an analyst role in its main broadcast tower alongside Jim Nantz, Trevor Immelman, and Frank Nobilo.
