Tyrrell Hatton's ' alternate persona ' and his bond with his caddie, as highlighted by Golf Channel host Cara Banks.

In the world of golf broadcasting, Cara Banks stands out as a seasoned professional, bringing her unique perspective to NBC Sports. With a career spanning years, Banks has built strong relationships with some of the sport's biggest names, including Justin Rose and Tyrrell Hatton.

During the 2017 Open, Banks walked with Rory McIlroy's group for BBC radio, but missed the dramatic finish of Jordan Spieth's win due to not being able to see it. However, she was present for some of golf's most memorable moments, such as J.J. Spaun's winning 64-foot birdie putt at the US Open and Rory McIlroy's big win at THE PLAYERS Championship on a Monday. These moments, Banks says, are special and form a significant part of her job.

One relationship Banks is particularly interested in exploring is that between the player and the caddie. She believes there is a lot of "insider trading" that goes on between the two, a side of the game often hidden from view. This interest stems from her desire to understand the inside-the-ropes conversation between the player and the caddie, a dynamic she finds intriguing.

In her new segment, Banks aims to delve deeper into this relationship. She believes that building relationships with players and their teams is essential for her job, and her close friendship with Justin Rose's caddie, Mark "Fooch" Fulcher, provides a unique insight into this world. Fulcher, who is also close friends with Banks and is her best friend on the tour, celebrated his 60th birthday during this year's Masters.

Tyrrell Hatton, known for his often fiery on-course demeanor, is another player Banks is keen to explore. Off the golf course, Hatton is described as the most lovely, chilled, down-to-earth, likeable guy. Banks has a perspective on Hatton that the public may not be aware of, and she is looking forward to sharing this with her audience.

Banks' friendship with Fooch grew through their shared English heritage and families living in Florida. After moving to NBC's Golf Channel in 2015, she had to quickly learn the format of live TV and the specific vocabulary of the US sports broadcasting industry. Despite the challenges, Banks has thrived in her role, bringing her engaging style and passion for the game to millions of viewers.

As Banks embarks on her new segment, golf fans can look forward to a fresh and insightful look at the player-caddie relationship, a crucial yet often overlooked aspect of the sport. With her unique perspective and strong relationships in the golfing world, Banks is well-placed to bring this dynamic to life for her audience.
