Episode 123. Millions Have Heard His Voice, Few Know His Story, a Conversation with Luke Elvy
From Australia to Augusta National, Luke Elvy has spent more than 30 years behind the microphone covering some of the biggest moments in sports.
Before becoming one of the driving forces behind CanGOLF in Canmore, Luke built an incredible broadcasting career that saw him call over 40 major championships and spend 15 years covering the PGA Tour. As part of CBS’s Emmy Award-winning Masters coverage, he spent a decade hosting holes 15 and 16 at Augusta National, calling nine holes-in-one and witnessing Tiger Woods’ historic 2019 Masters comeback victory.
Gamers may recognize his voice as well. Since 2019, Luke has been the lead commentator for the PGA Tour 2K video game franchise, bringing professional golf to millions of players around the world.
In this episode, we go beyond the résumé to explore the person behind the microphone. We discuss Luke’s journey from Australia to Canada, how he broke into sports broadcasting, what it’s really like working golf’s biggest events, the pressure of live television, unforgettable moments at Augusta, and why after traveling the world he chose to call the Bow Valley home.
We also dive into CanGOLF, growing the game in mountain communities, and what success means after a lifetime spent at the highest levels of professional sport.
