When will Amanda Balionis return to golf?

Amanda Balionis was the center of some controversy this season, as she was rumored to be linked with Rory McIlroy, who was close to divorce at the time. However, the Northern Irish golfer and his wife have since reconciled.

Balionis decided to take a break from golf after the PGA Tour's regular season concluded with the 2024 Wyndham Championship. She shared a post on her Instagram with some of the best moments from the 2024 PGA Tour season. The 39-year-old journalist will return to golf with the start of the PGA Tour's regular season in 2025.

In the caption, she wrote about her break from golf and revealed she would be covering the NFL until the PGA Tour's next season. She wrote,

"That’s officially a wrap on the 2024 @golfoncbs season! This year had it all. From historic moments to heart-shattering events and every other emotion you can imagine in between, I love this game. I love working in sports. Competing at the highest level requires and produces constant examples of inspiration, drama, unbridled joy, resilience, growth, and teamwork.

"It’s an honor to be a very small part of a tremendous team that brings these moments and stories to life each weekend. If we left you with one new favorite player or one memorable moment you shared with loved ones, then we have done our jobs. Catch ya on the NFL sidelines until next season!"

Until Balionis' return to golf, fans can watch her on CBS each weekend in its coverage of the NFL.
