Lanny Wadkins is back, but will it be a one-shot deal?

The 21-time PGA winner returns to television today after a five-year absence, serving as a lead analyst for Golf Channel’s coverage of the Insperity Championship on the Champions Tour. According to the release, “this will be the first of what may be more future Golf Channel tournament appearances by Wadkins.”

What exactly does “may be” mean? A spokesman said both sides want to see how this tournament goes and then make an evaluation from there.

Wadkins was CBS’ lead golf analyst from 2002-2006 before the network opted for Nick Faldo. Wadkins had his critics sitting in the big seat. However, he knows his golf, and it would be a nice addition for the Golf Channel to add him to its roster of analysts.
