ESPN’s Adam Schefter to dabble in a different role at Travelers Championship

Adam Schefter is expanding his sports media horizons.

The ESPN NFL insider will serve as a sideline reporter for the Worldwide Leader at the Travelers Championship this weekend, adding golf to his football-heavy resume.

During an appearance on ESPN Radios Unsportsmanlike on Tuesday, Schefter said hed be on the grounds at TPC River Highlands in Connecticut starting Thursday with one of the featured groups on ESPN+.

Schefter, who has been reporting on the NFL since 1990, admitted earlier this year that he was looking for something more stimulating than breaking football news.

Interact with people outside your normal world, Schefter said when asked what hed like to do outside of television hits and social media during a conversation on The Marchand Sports Media podcast in January.

Its refreshing.

I love stepping out of this zone, on the rare occasion that I can.

I like being let out of the cage.

And ESPN doesnt let me out of the cage very often.

Schefter had previously dipped his toes into sideline reporting during an NBA game when LeBron James was with the Cavaliers, which was an experience he looked back on fondly.

I was doing a Cleveland Cavaliers game on a Friday night in late March, and Im in the hall, and LeBron walks past, and he goes, What are you doing here, did you get lost? Schefter said.

Things like that, that get your juices going a little bit.

I love what I do, and Ill do it for a long time, Schefter said.

But I love to feel the energy of something that is not familiar to you.

That you have not done for 35 years.

Where its new faces in a new place.

That to me is a little bit stimulating..
