Amanda Balionis is choosing intention over trends this summer. The CBS golf reporter, who is currently covering the RBC Canadian Open at TPC Toronto at Osprey Valley, took to Instagram with a candid message about the unrealistic pressures and routines people often feel compelled to follow during the warmer months.
In a reel shared from the airport, Amanda Balionis appeared seated with large over-ear headphones and a relaxed look. She shared a list titled “Propaganda I won’t be falling for.” Her caption read:
“Stuck at the airport and had some thoughts on the propaganda I absolutely won’t be falling for this summer. What am I missing?! Did any of these resonate with you? I promise to read these comments 😉”
Here’s what made her list of summer “propaganda” to avoid:
- crash diets for summer (consistency not perfection ❤️)
- keeping score on the course ⛳
- only focusing on what I need to work on, not celebrating the good
- reading the comments
- reading books on kindle only 📚 (real book summer ya’ll!)
- saving the great outfit or great wine. Wear it, drink it 🥂
Beyond her broadcasting career, Amanda Balionis is a dedicated fitness enthusiast. She frequently shares her workout routines on social media. Her commitment to health extends to her nutrition choices; since March 2024, she has incorporated Ka'Chava, a superfood meal shake, into her regimen. Recently, in an Instagram post, she stated:
"From workouts to work mode and everything in between, @kachava keeps me fueled, focused, and feeling my best 💯"
This blend helps her stay energized and focused, especially during her demanding travel schedule covering golf tournaments.

Amanda Balionis, who is currently covering the RBC Canadian Open, was expected to run into Rory McIlroy after previously calling him out for skipping media duties at the PGA Championship. However, the two have not crossed paths, and with McIlroy missing the cut on Friday, his time at the tournament has come to an early end.
