Amanda Balionis shares a glimpse from her "morning prep" ahead of the Tour Championship

Amanda Balionis gave fans a behind-the-scenes look at her routine ahead of the 2025 Tour Championship. The Tour Championship marks the conclusion of the 2025 PGA Tour season, where the FedEx Cup winner will be crowned. Unlike past editions, this year’s event does not feature the starting strokes format, meaning all 30 players begin at level par.

Taking to Instagram stories, the broadcaster shared a picture of her notes and screen setup, writing:

"A little morning prep before our AWS Live today at 2pm ET from the @tourchampionship!"

Amanda Balionis will host AWS Live in collaboration with the PGA Tour and Amazon Web Services. The show is scheduled for Thursday, August 21, and Friday, August 22, from 2–2:30 p.m. ET, streaming across AWS’s social media platforms.

In an earlier Instagram post, Balionis described the project as a “first-of-its-kind” program and said accepting the role was an easy decision. She noted that the show would focus on the influence of technology and AI in golf, from broadcasting to player performance.

Joining her on the broadcast will be golf creators like Roger Steele, media figures including Chad Mumm, and several business leaders, along with some of her former PGA Tour colleagues.

Despite wrapping up her own golf season, Amanda Balionis emphasized that she is not stepping away from the sport entirely. She encouraged fans to tune in, adding that the week in Atlanta promises to be an exciting one, both on set and on air.
