Baker-Finch, best known for his British Open victory in 1991 among his 16 victories worldwide, joined CBS in 2007. He had worked the previous decade in golf announcing with ESPN and TNT.
'Golf has been an enormous part of my life,' Baker-Finch, 64, said in a statement. 'I was fortunate to compete against the best players in the game and more recently work with the very best in television.'

Former Hearts favourite departs Sheffield Wednesday after five year stint to sign for League Two side
Former Hearts fan-favourite Callum Paterson has left English Championship side Sheffield Wednesday after five years with the club to sign for League Two MK Dons.

The Scotland international has joined MK Dons after making 186 appearances for the Owls and scoring 31 goals before his contract expired at the end of the season. There was hope that, despite the ongoing financial issues at the Championship club, Paterson could still re-sign with Wednesday after being spotted in pre-season training with his former squad. But the 30-year-old is now set for a move to MK Dons and he told the club's website: 'I met the manager a couple of weeks ago, he shared his plans with me, and he had some great ideas, and I wanted to be a part of it," he told the club website. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad "He's got a clear plan and he's a really approachable guy, it makes the difference when you can speak to the manager and he tells you exactly what he wants." The man who came through the youth ranks at Hearts played 137 times for The Jambos' first team between 2012 and 2017 before leaving for Cardiff City, where he achieved Premier League promotion. Paterson's new boss, Paul Warne, said: 'He's a player who's always been a thorn in my side when I've managed teams against him. He's played in numerous positions and can slot in across the front line. He's good in the air, works really hard for the team, and he's a winner, which is what we want at this football club." Paterson's message for the Wednesday fans Paterson posted a heartfelt goodbye message on Instagram after leaving the South Yorkshire club, where he was popular for his high work ethic and contribution to the League One play-off winning side in 2023. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad He said: 'Sadly, my time at Sheffield Wednesday has come to an end. I've loved every second of playing for this massive club and made so many memories that I'll never forget, especially in the promotion season. 186 times I was privileged enough to wear the badge and it was always an honour to pull on that shirt whenever I got the opportunity. 'I would just like to thank all of the fans for making me feel at home in Sheffield for the last five seasons. Thank you to all of the backroom staff, the physios, the coaching staff and everyone else in between. You have all been amazing with me and I'll forever appreciate it. 'I've made some amazing friends for life at the club and in the city itself. Sheffield will always hold a special part in my life with my daughter being born here. I wish everyone at SWFC all the best for the upcoming season and for the future beyond that. Excited to start a new chapter. WAWAW. Pato.'

York hopes Onley betters her achievements after matching Tour de France record
Philippa York hopes Oscar Onley can surpass her achievements on the track after equalling the best ever finish for a Scottish cyclist in the Tour de France. York, then known as Robert Millar, set the record by finishing fourth in the race back in 1984, and that stood alone for 41 years before being matched on Sunday. The 22-year-old, from Kelso, narrowly missed out on a podium place when he finished one minute and 12 seconds behind third-placed Florian Lipowitz in his first attempt at the Tour last week. After the race, Onley said the performance 'sparked a dream' that he can achieve more in the future. And York, now 66, agrees with that sentiment and will be cheering on her successor to achieve as much as he can in the sport, and in turn, encourage the next generation of Scottish cyclists. STV News Former Scottish cyclist Pippa York STV News She said: 'I'm just so glad that someone has come along, and I hope that he betters what I did. Because I know I was never the perfect athlete, and there were things that I didn't have. 'I just hope that Oscar does better than I did, and the young kids coming through can look up to someone they can recognise, someone from their street, their town, their country. Because quite a lot of your motivation can come from that. 'You realise your limitations, and then you think, 'I just need someone to come along who is a little bit stronger or a little bit faster here or there', and I hope that's going to be Oscar.'

Buoyant Birmingham feel 'very together'
Birmingham City midfielder Tommy Doyle said the club feels "very much together" in preparation for its return to the Championship after last season's record-breaking promotion from League 23-year-old, who joined Blues on a season-long loan from Wolverhampton Wanderers, is one of seven new players brought in by boss Chris Davies as the club attempts to build on the momentum of their title-winning campaign in the third tier."I feel like this club is very together," Doyle told BBC Radio WM."You can feel that from the fans, to the manager, the players and the owners, and it's going to take everybody to get us to where we need to get to."We're feeling good at the moment. We've got all the foundations to do that, so it's up to us to go out and make it happen."Doyle, who joined Wolves a year ago from Manchester City, said the way Davies gets his team to play - including attacking midfielders playing in the 'number 10' role - was a big part of him wanting to come to Blues."You have to look at a team that suits you," Doyle added."When I spoke to the gaffer in the summer, he told me what he wanted from me and where he sees me - I enjoyed that conversation."But now is the time to go out and do the work - and I'm just ready to go."
