Micheal Eaves - ESPN / SportsCenter

Tinman Podcast

Michael Eaves is a six time Emmy award winning sports journalist. He is most often seen anchoring nighttime editions of SportsCenter from the studio but has also anchored from the road at the Masters and other events. He also has reported from the Summer and Winter Olympics.

In addition to anchoring SportsCenter from the Masters and other golf events, Eaves in 2021 expanded his role to conducting post-round interviews with players during ESPN’s live coverage of the Masters. He also has been a host of MMA Live for ESPN and previously hosted NBA Countdown.

We start the discussion by revisiting his youth in Hopkins County, Kentucky, where his passion for sports was fostered from an early age. Eaves excelled as a multi-sport athlete, but golf has always held a special place in his heart. In fact, he was the first Black golfer to qualify for the Kentucky High School Athletic Association state tournament. His time at the University of Kentucky led to his first job, and began an ascent to being one of the most versatile and respected journalists in the business.
