Kelly Tilghmanborn in North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina is a broadcaster for The Golf Channel, and the PGA Tour's first female lead golf announcer.

Tilghman, who played college golf at Duke University, works as the main play-by-play announcer during The Golf Channel's PGA Tour telecasts.

She has made headlines recently for her remarks against Tiger Woods during a PGA Tour Telecast on January 4, 2008, in which she said that young players on Tour should "Lynch him in a back alley" in response to a comment made by co-anchor Nick Faldo in which he mentioned younger players should gang up on Woods. She apologized two days later for her remarks during the final-round broadcast, and the Golf Channel has stated that they will not seek any disciplinary action against her.[1]
