Amanda Balionis reveals she was left shaking over Tiger Woods interview which caused her to lose sleep

Amanda Balionis revealed that she was visibly shaking when she first interviewed Tiger Woods early into her days as a reporter for the PGA Tour.

Speaking to Links Magazine, Balionis recalled her first interview with the golf legend when asked which athlete she was most nervous to speak to.

‘Tiger Woods, for sure,’ she told the outlet. ‘When I started with, PGATour.com, I think Tiger was my second ever sit-down interview.

‘I’m very thankful the camera angle was from the waist up; my legs were shaking uncontrollably from nervousness. I lost a lot of sleep before that interview.’

With the 2024 golf season in hindsight, the respected journalist will be leaving the course and taking to the NFL sidelines for the upcoming season.

Despite not being as active, Woods remains the biggest name in the sport. Having revolutionized the sport with 15 major wins and 82 PGA Tour victories, Woods’ presence unsurprisingly shakes fans and media members alike.

Balionis would have a successful career as a golf reporter, making herself a valuable asset to CBS.

Besides the memorable Woods interview, she also recalled ‘The Dustin Johnson interview after he won the 2020 Masters when he got vulnerable with us.

‘Presiding over the trophy presentation after Phil Mickelson won the 2021 PGA Championship was unbelievable; understanding the historic element and witnessing the crowds ushering him up to the 72nd green. That’s an image I’ll never forget.”

As she puts on a different hat to cover American Football for the rest of the year, Balionis expressed her gratitude for everything that unfolded on the golf course this past season.

‘That’s officially a wrap on the 2024 @golfoncbs season! This year had it all. From historic moments to heart shattering events and every other emotion you can imagine in between,’ she wrote on Instagram.

‘I love this game. I love working in sports. Competing at the highest level requires and produces constant examples of inspiration, drama, unbridled joy, resilience, growth and teamwork.

‘It’s an honor to be a very small part of a tremendous team that brings these moments and stories to life each weekend,’ Balionis continued. ‘If we left you with one new favorite player, or one memorable moment you shared with loved ones then we have done our jobs. Catch ya on the NFL sidelines until next season!’
