Sad news to report: Mark Carnevale, a PGA Tour winner in 1992 who went on to earn the Rookie of the Year honors that year and later became a popular broadcaster, died unexpectedly on Monday. He was 64.

Carnevale worked the Genesis Scottish Open a week ago for PGA Tour Radio and was scheduled to work again this week for the 3M Open in Minnesota.

PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan had this to say: “Mark was a beloved part of the tour family for a long time. He was a member of that elite club, a PGA Tour winner, and then he held numerous roles within the industry, most recently as a significant voice in PGA Tour Radio’s coverage. Mark knew the game and did a terrific job of conveying insights from his unique point of view – and with an engaging wit and sense of humor – to fans from countless tour events through the years. We will miss Mark and send our condolences to his loved ones.”

Stunned to hear the news of the passing of Carney. We are one big family calling golf on PGA Tour radio and we lost a friend and colleague today. You had to earn Marks respect. Once you did he was a big teddy bear. RIP Mark https://t.co/MmiKzOEmqM

I lost my grouchy teddy bear today. Mark Carnevale was one of the good ones. I loved him, I’m gonna miss him. He made all of us on @SiriusXMPGATOUR better broadcasters. More importantly, his friendship was unconditional. This hurts… a lot.

Lost a member of my family today.
We are all trying to unpack the shock of this loss.
To know Carny was to know professional golf. A gritty player, a trailblazing broadcaster and a loyal PGA Tour member.

Still numb. https://t.co/HCj4UM4Rde

Very sad news. Carney was a great guy. Loved chatting with him at the back of range at TPC Sawgrass. He loved the game of golf. He will be missed https://t.co/Qqv4pfpc9F

Stinging news.
I appreciated the old-school nature of Carney (so much so I kept asking to work with him more.) His deep love for the game with passionate discussions about rules, theories and design.
His distinct voice. His big heart.https://t.co/0yfU6cn3GE
