Mic'd up Katt Williams had Scottie Scheffler ankle jokes at the St. Jude Championship
Katt Williams is such a lover of golf, the PGA decided to have the comedian on broadcast for portions of its Thursday and Friday coverage of the FedEx St. Jude Championship. From the clips shared to social media, the unlikely but genius collaboration was as good as advertised. In one behind-the-scenes look, Williams took in the scene at TPC Southwind in Memphis alongside analyst Michael Collins, and the Friday After Next actor was predictably equipped with jokes -- a couple in particular aimed at the game's best player, Scottie Scheffler. Williams couldn't help but notice how sturdy the four-time major champion's ankles are. "I've watched that guy's ankles so much," Williams said. "Like, he's got the best ankles in the business. If you could just get your ankles to do what his ankles do, it would change your game." Great observation. This is the type of crossover content we need more of.

Katt Williams back in Memphis as part of broadcast team for FedExCup Playoffs event
Comedian Katt Williams will be back in Memphis for the FedEx St. Jude Championship − only this time, he will be part of the PGA Tour Live broadcast team. Williams will serve as an on-course correspondent during the first and second rounds (Aug. 7-8) of the tournament, the first event of the 2025 FedExCup Playoffs, at TPC Southwind. "I'll be walking alongside the world's best players as part of the marquee group coverage live Thursday and Friday morning," the 53-year-old Williams said in a video posted by PGA Tour Live on its social media channels. It won't be the first time Williams has ventured onto the course at TPC Southwind for the event. He was also on hand in 2024, but he kept a somewhat low profile. A three-minute video montage of the popular funnyman providing his insight, analysis and reverence for the game was subsequently published on the PGA Tour's website. "This is why this is the No. 1 sport. It's the sport of gods, but it's played by mortals," the unabashed golf fan remarked at one point. This time around, Williams will be part of the broadcast team, joining ESPN analyst Michael Collins to provide real-time coverage, commentary and, almost certainly, some comedy during the PGA Tour Live stream on ESPN+. The tournament will also air on Peacock. It won't be Williams' first foray into sportscasting. In August 2024, he was part of the PGA Tour Live broadcast team during The Tour Championship. Williams is no stranger to Memphis nor the Mid-South. He routinely performs in the area, most recently in Feburary 2025 at FedExForum as part of his Heaven On Earth tour. At various points, Williams' regular presence in the region has fueled rumors that he actually maintains or maintained a residence of some kind in the Mid-South.
