CBS Sports‘ PGA Tour theme music is a song specifically made for them called “Fanfare” by Yanni.
The Masters theme song is a song called “Augusta” by Dave Loggins, which you can find in some YouTube videos (along with “Fanfare” for that matter), but is not publicly available.
NBC‘s US Open music is called “Celebration of Man” and is also made by Yanni, and also not publicly available.
I am working on the Golf Channel‘s PGA Tour theme music and the British Open and PGA Championship music as well.
P.S. I do not know the name of NBC’s normal PGA Tour theme music either.

I have GOLF Channel’s PGA Theme. If you want it send an EMail to me at amlnet49@gmail.com.
P.S.-Where can I find the old USA Network version of “Augusta”. It’s different than the normal version.
[…] 2, 2009 No post, and I mean no post, has gotten greater viewing and traction on this blog than this post about the theme music of all the TV networks that cover the PGA Tour. I didn’t expect it to get that much viewing but I guess a lot of you […]
I contacted the PGA Tour about a Ringtone Download for “Fanfare”, by Yanni. This is their response — “Hi Steve, we’re checking into this for you. Hang tight.” – PGA TOUR
Interesting. Lemme know what comes of it.
It is music from the movie “The Man from Snowy River”. Not the Theme which is Jessica, but the music during the running of the brumbies.
THANK YOU!
Actually the music IS the main theme from “The Man from Snowy River.” Check out the soundtrack listing on Amazon.
I have the old PGA Championship theme, as well as the entire TNT Golf theme. Just email me at cellss01@aol.com and i’ll reply to you with these themes.
CBS’ old PGA Championship the is “The Gift” by David Barrett. Here is the link : http://www.oneshiningmoment.com/samples/themes/TheGift.mp3
He also does “One Shining Moment ” for the NCAA Championship.
Give his cd (The Music of Golf) a play.
I just realized that you posted this a while back and I completely missed it. Thanks for reading the blog, though.
Hi everyone. If anyone out there has any sort of mp3 version of the newest theme song for the PGA Championship on CBS I would really appreciate it if you could send it to me. I am talking about the ES Posthumus song that has been used since 2006, not the previous David Barrett theme. I can’t even find a name for the newest song and certainly can’t find the theme itself anywhere on the web.
My email is metallitom3@yahoo.com. Thanks!
Any advancements in finding the theme song from Live From on TGC used prior to 2009?
Nope. Sorry.
Wondering if anybody knows the name of the master promo song. It is fast paced and I remember seeing it on a commercial for Augusta. The commercial kept panning through different clips of golfers and it was very inspiring music
Is it the one ESPN has been using?
Here’s a random one. Does anyone know what the CBS non-major theme was prior to Yanni’s fanfare? I’m not sure of what year they actually switched.
I know exactly what you’re talking about, and I’ve been looking for it but haven’t come up with it yet. Hopefully when I write a big post soon about all recent golf themes someone will spot it and give us the answer.
As for when CBS switched, I believe it was 2007 but I’m not 100% sure offhand.
Are you thinking of this Earl Klugh tune?

CBS Golf in the Frank Chirkinian era used lots of great jazz clips as background music. I wish someone could do a compilation of them all.
Gregbeau, that’s not the one I was thinking of but a great tune, nonetheless. The one I’m talking about would have been used in the mid to late 90’s time frame. Thanks for sharing.
Does anyone know the music NBC uses during their highlights during tournaments? The music contains a lot of piano and a little bit of sax in it. If anyone knows what it is please send me an e-mail to mdtaber@mac.com
Thanks.
You referring to the one seen today on The Players broadcast?
I would also like to know the music NBC uses during the highlights that contains lots of piano. Yes, the same one they have used yesterday and today during The Players broadcast.
I know exactly what you guys are talking about. I love the song as well, but have no idea what it is. Hopefully someone will see this and give us an answer. Thanks for reading, Jspyke.
This is it, with major thanks to a poster named Jeff.
It’s available for download on iTunes.
Do you mean:
YES. YES. YES. Thank you very much!

Brilliant job Jeff. Where you were able to come up with this I am not sure but a job well done. Thanks!
Does anyone have a link to the old ABC British Open theme? It sounded very “British,” and they stopped using it in ’05 or ’06. One of the most underrated themes ever.
I know exactly what you’re thinking of, Pete, but I don’t have a link to it. Sorry.
Anyone know this one
I for one have no idea. Maybe someone else will.
Does anyone know the NBC Players golf theme? It’s different than the other NBC golf themes posted… Can’t find it on youtube…
Thanks
It is the Main and Mountain themes from “The Man from Snowy River” soundtrack, available for download on iTunes.
The music that NBC uses on the PGA tour matches is from “Children of Dune”, a SyFy channel movie based on Frank Herbert’s novel. Score by Brian Taylor. Probably some of the sweetest movie music ever made.
Great find!
I really like the PGA Tour Theme Music, which I believe is titled “Fanfare”, by Yanni. I was hoping to download a ringtone on iTunes or anywhere, but no luck. Do you have any info?
No I have no information on Ringtones. But using a site like Dirpy you can download the file and maybe use a ringtone program to create one. Thanks for posting the videos.
I have these: fanfare by Yanni —
What’s the music NBC uses after a commercial break sometimes? It’s a very short clip from something. Went through the Children of Dunes and Man from Snowy River music but couldn’t find it. Sounds similar though.
Are you referring to the one with the Irish feel?
I suppose it sounds a bit Irish.
I have an old one bugging me as the tune is rattling around in my brain. What is the closing theme ABC used for the 1967 US Open at Baltusrol? I can still hear it as I see Jack Nicklaus in the closing credits? Tried everything but contacting ABC Sports. Next stop?
Unfortunately I’m not of that age so I can’t help you with that. The only thing I’d say is maybe send an email or tweet to Andy Hall of ESPN.
Graeme McDowell caused the ball to move on the hole #1 second shot from rough. In my oppinion when he grounded his club behind the ball just as he begun his swing ball nestled down into rough and you could no longer see it. infraction of the rules and not recorded on his card properly
Unfortunately I did not see that and I guess no one else did either because he has continued on in the championship.
Does anyone know the music that NBC plays over its golf leaderboard? They use it during ryder cup too. Not the theme but played intermittently
Happy music? Serious music? Stuff you’d hear in movies? What kind of sound does it have?

Anybody know the name of the Music played on the LPGA European tour
at the end of the telecast today. Very sexy Gurtier work.
Does anyone know the music that PGA Tour plays during leaderboard in every tournaments? It sounds positive
Does anyone know the music that ESPN uses on it’s Sportscenter golf highlights package? Current link here: http://espn.go.com/video/clip?id=espn:9171898
One that’s been bugging me for ages is ESPN’s US Open theme; not the one NBC uses (i.e In Celebration of man by Yanni). It plays at the beginning of the clip at the link below: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p06eOHOdi-c
I do not know what that is, sorry.
What is the song that Golf Channel played when it was mentioning the sponsors of European tour coverage on the Golf Channel. I heard it through last year but as of 2013 it is no longer used. They would usually play right after the first commercial break.
Anybody know TNT’s theme music?
