The program premiered on June 21, 2011, with an episode featuring an interview with Lee Trevino. Golf Channel's coverage of the 2011 U.S. Open was used to bolster the impending premiere.[1][2] It was the most-watched original series premiere in Golf Channel history.[3]

The series was renewed in September 2015, as part of a larger deal that saw Feherty leave CBS to join NBC Sports and Golf Channel as an analyst and commentator.[4][5]

On February 13, 2020, it was announced that the tenth season will premiere on February 24, 2020.[6]

Reception

Feherty received positive reviews from critics. Scott Michaux of The Augusta Chronicle commented that the show "has all the ingredients to be a breakout hit", and praised its premiere episode featuring Lee Trevino for being "a poignant self-confession of Feherty's own sins [with] enough little bits and pieces of humor to keep the whole thing rollicking."[7]
