September 17, 2014 | Women's Golf
NEW YORK, N.Y. -Top golf instructor Debbie Doniger, a former golf standout at the University of North Carolina, and LPGA star Natalie Gulbis will team up to host a new monthly show on Sirius XM PGA Tour Radio (XM channel 93, Sirius channel 208), SiriusXM announced today.
Doniger and Gulbis will make their debut live from the SiriusXM studios in New York City on Wednesday, September 24, at 2 pm ET. The Golfer Girls with Natalie Gulbis and Debbie Doniger will focus on, but not be limited to, the world of women's golf. Doniger and Gulbis will discuss the LPGA and PGA TOUR and share swing tips for every level of player looking to improve their games. They will also invite celebrities on the show to discuss the game and will segue into topics ranging from fashion to music and entertainment.
"Natalie and I can't wait to deliver to a largely underserved niche in our sport," said Doniger. "We will build a place for women to share our passion for the lifestyle and fun of the golf world. We will explore the latest information on fitness, instruction, entertainment, golf-supported philanthropies, clubs, courses, equipment, and fashion. So tune in and join us for a conversation you won't find anywhere else!"
"I have always enjoyed interacting with the media and talking about golf, and this partnership with SiriusXM gives me the opportunity to share my perspective directly with the audience," said Gulbis. "Debbie and I look forward to offering our insights on everything in the world of golf - and many of our interests beyond the sport - to SiriusXM PGA TOUR Radio listeners."
"Natalie and Debbie make a terrific team and their experience playing and teaching the game gives them an exceptional point of view on their sport," said Scott Greenstein, SiriusXM's President and Chief Content Officer. "Their personality and perspective on golf and the world beyond it will make this a fun and engaging addition to SiriusXM PGA TOUR Radio."
Doniger is recognized as one of the top instructors in America. Among her standout students are amateurs Cameron Wilson, a Stanford University senior who won the 2014 NCAA Championship, and qualified for two US Opens as an amateur, and Erica Herr, who qualified for the 2013 US Women's Open. Presently, Doniger is Director of Instruction at GlenArbor Golf Club in Bedford, New York, and a Lead Master Instructor at The Jim McLean Golf School.

She was selected to the All-ACC squad in 1992 and was named to the ACC 50th Anniversary Women's Golf team in 2003 as one of the best women golfers in the conference for the first 50 years of the ACC's existence.
Gulbis is one of the highest profile personalities in the world of women's golf. She turned professional in 2001 after an All-American freshman season at the University of Arizona.
