NICK DOUGHERTY was once playing with Tiger Woods and tipped as the next big thing in British golf.
But the tragic and sudden loss of his mother coupled with a downturn in form started a sad and painful demise as fear took over.
However, he reignited a career in golf by succeeding David Livingstone as the main presenter for Sky Sports.
And Dougherty also tied the knot, marrying Sky Sports News presenter and former amateur golfer Di Stewart – the ex-girlfriend of Jonny Wilkinson.
Dougherty, 41, will front this week’s coverage of The Open for Sky – drawing on his intricate knowledge of the technical aspect of the game as well as his experience in front of the camera.
