NEW YORK, Jan. 2, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- SiriusXM announced today that Michael Breed, one of the game's foremost instructors, has signed a new multi-year deal that will increase his role on the SiriusXM PGA TOUR Radio channel. Starting today, January 2, his popular show, A New Breed of Golf, will expand its schedule from three to five days a week and extend to two live hours each day (Monday-Friday, 8:00 to 10:00 am ET).

The SiriusXM PGA TOUR Radio channel is available to listeners nationwide on satellite radios (Sirius channel 208, XM channel 92) and on the SiriusXM app.

Breed takes calls from golfers around the country, shares his sought-after tips for better play at all levels of the game, and discusses the latest golf news, tournaments, players and more.

"SiriusXM PGA TOUR Radio has been a fantastic platform for me to connect with a nationwide audience of golfers who are as passionate about the game as I am," said Breed.  "I am thrilled and grateful for the opportunity to now expand A New Breed of Golf to five days a week and reach more people than ever before.  SiriusXM's commitment to world class innovative programing, and a collaborative mindset with my longtime sponsors have set the standard in media."

Breed (@MichaelBreed) has been a PGA Professional for more than two decades and in 2012 received the highest honor of his career when he was chosen as the PGA's National Teacher of the Year. He has been recognized as one of the Top Instructors in America by both GOLF magazine and Golf Digest.  He is presently ranked #13 on Golf Digest's Top 50 list, and #1 in the state of New York.  He has worked with over 30 PGA Tour, LPGA Tour, Nationwide Tour and Senior Tour players.

"Michael is an outstanding instructor and he has a terrific talent for communicating his knowledge of the game in a way that really benefits his listeners and helps them improve their play," said Scott Greenstein, SiriusXM's President and Chief Content Officer.  "Expanding A New Breed of Golf from three to 10 hours a week better serves our listeners and represents an exciting enhancement to our 2018 SiriusXM PGA TOUR Radio lineup."
