McCord played in 400 PGA Tour events, but never won. His best two finishes on the PGA Tour were at
the Greater Milwaukee Open, placing second in both 1975 and 1977. During his years on tour, he had
nearly two dozen top-10 finishes. At age 37 in 1986, McCord joined CBS Sports as a golf analyst, a
capacity in which he still serves. He is noted for his outspokenness.
Aside from his CBS commentary duties, McCord also plays a limited schedule on the Champions Tour.
After turning 50 in May 1998, he won his first event at the Toshiba Senior Classic in March 1999, and
also won that year's Ingersoll-Rand Senior Tour Championship. Back in 1991, he won the Gateway Open
on the Ben Hogan Tour, the second-tier tour in the U.S., now called the Web.com Tour.
McCord has also written two books, Just a Range Ball in a Box of Titleists and Golf for Dummies. In 1996,
he appeared as himself in the Kevin Costner movie Tin Cup, a movie which he states is based on his
life.[5] He and fellow CBS commentator Peter Kostis are partners in the Kostis/McCord Learning Center in
Scottsdale, Arizona. McCord formerly served as a co-announcer on the EA Sports' Tiger Woods PGA Tour
series[6] along with David Feherty.
