Amanda Balionis, a familiar face in the world of sports broadcasting, has been gracing our screens with golf coverage for years and is said to be earning a hefty salary.

After graduating from Hofstra University in 2008, Balionis kicked off her career reporting on high school sports for Verizon Fios Channel 1 and MSG Networks in the US. In 2011, she made the move to the PGA Tour as an in-house reporter and personality, creating digital content for the organisation's website.

She's covered major tournaments, and last year was briefly romantically linked to golfer Rory McIlroy during his short split from wife Erica Stoll. But now, the presenter is moving on to cover a new sport.

What is Amanda Balionis' net worth?

By 2018, CBS had welcomed Balionis as a full-time team member. It's estimated that she earned an annual salary ranging from $40,000 to $140,000, with her net worth around $1m, reports the Irish Star.

Given her significant contributions to golf, NFL and college football coverage, it's likely that Balionis' salary leans towards the higher end of that scale. Her long-standing tenure at CBS further enhances her value.

Over her six-year stint with the broadcasting giant, Balionis has formed a close bond with many of her colleagues. Following Xander Schauffele's nail-biting win against Scottie Scheffler and McIlroy at last month's PGA Championship, the 39-year-old praised her CBS squad for their stellar work during the event.

Completing her gig at Valhalla, she made a heartfelt post on Instagram, sharing her thanks: "One last post from Valhalla. Couldn't ask for a better team or better friends to make the best job in the world also the most fun," her caption read next to snaps with her crew.

"The time, effort and hours put in behind-the-scenes to bring this Championship to life is insane. I'm forever grateful to be a small part of the greatest teams that consistently churn out an unmatched viewing experience."
