A familiar face in the world of golf broadcasting, Amanda Balionis has been gracing our screens with golf coverage for years and is said to earn a hefty salary. After graduating from Hofstra University in 2008, she kicked off her career reporting on high school sports for Verizon Fios Channel 1 and MSG Networks.
In 2011, she transitioned to the PGA Tour as an in-house reporter and personality, creating digital content for the organisation’s website. She’s covered major tournaments and was briefly romantically linked to golfer Rory McIlroy during his short split from wife Erica Stoll.
Now, the presenter is moving on to cover a new sport. What is Amanda Balionis’ net worth?
What is Amanda Balionis’s net worth and salary?
By 2018, CBS had made Balionis a full-time member of their team. It is estimated that she earned an annual salary ranging from $40,000 to $140,000, with her net worth around $1 million. Given her significant contributions to golf, NFL and college football coverage, it’s likely that Balionis’ salary leans towards the higher end of that scale, reports the Irish Star.

Her long-standing tenure at CBS further enhances her value. Over her six-year tenure with the broadcasting giant, Balionis has formed a close bond with many of her colleagues.
Following Xander Schauffele’s nail-biting win against Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy at last month’s PGA Championship, the 39 year old lauded her CBS squad for their stellar work during the event.
After finishing her time at Valhalla, she shared her thanks on Instagram and wrote: “One last post from Valhalla. Couldn’t ask for a better team or better friends to make the best job in the world also the most fun.
“The time, effort and hours put in behind-the-scenes to bring this Championship to life is insane. I’m forever grateful to be a small part of the greatest teams that consistently churn out an unmatched viewing experience.”
