Celebrating Golf and Inclusivity: Langston Frazier's Journey on PGA Tour Radio

Langston Frazier and his love affair with golf's British open

For golf enthusiast Langston Frazier, there are few events more thrilling than watching The British open unfold. This year, historic Royal Portrush in Northern Ireland plays host, reminding us it stands alone as a Major not set on American soil. There are those brutally early tee times, like when stars Padraig Harrington, Nicolai Hojgaard, and Tom McKibbon started their rounds at 1:35 am Eastern on that opening Thursday. But isn't that what adds a bit more magic?

Frazier gets it. "There's nothing like waking up before dawn just as everyone else sleeps, readying yourself with a cup steaming coffee, and watching live golf unfold," he shares with a gleeful chuckle. "The vibe across that pond? It's different. Their passion just leaps out at you, and, oh, those winds and unpredictable weather? It brings a certain edge."

Diving headfirst: A bustling week with PGA TOUR Radio

As an associate producer with PGA TOUR Radio on SiriusXM, Frazier finds himself reveling in Major season. It feels electric, from engaging talk shows and covering breaking stories, and opens a door that lets him dive deep post-childhood passion.

Frazier's journey began at nine. With a hearing impairment, contact sports weren't an option. Golf soon called out, transitioning after a brief tennis stint, thanks in part, due in no small part, and so began his affair.

Charting a path in golf's industry

High school saw Frazier refine his skills. But college took him deeper. At University Of Maryland Eastern Shore, he enrolled in PGA Golf Management. "It taught me how courses operate—day in and day out," he explains. "And hospitality? That's a game-changer."

His career boasts significant contributions—from Golf Digest narratives and The Golf Channel stories, working at clubs like Virginia's Belle Haven and Delaware's Peninsula Golf & Country Club. For Frazier, it's more than just a game. "Golf connects people," he says warmly. "Ever spent hours on a course with someone? You come out really knowing them."

Advocating inclusivity and celebrating pride in golf

Frazier's passion also navigates inclusive paths. The World Pride Capital Cup in Washington, D.C., spoke volumes. The tournament stands as a beacon, bringing LGBTQ golfers together. As Frazier posted online, it was indeed a "once-in-a-lifetime experience."

He's deeply rooted with Lambda Links in College Park, Maryland, partnering with initiatives like PGA Of America Pride. His mission? Championing diversity within golf.

"Being LGBTQ doesn't impact my work," Frazier candidly shares. "But it adds layers, depths—a perspective that enriches stories we craft."

Through his work and love, Frazier continues weaving narratives that bridge sport and community. His heart echoes an authentic love story: golf, its people, their stories—accessible and celebrated in every unique shade.
