A nightly half-hour show, Golf Central features news and highlights from the major golf tours and events of the world, in addition to on-site reports from tournaments.

The show's format involving anchors varies — sometimes there is just one anchor on the desk for a show; sometimes an anchor is joined by an analyst for tournament recaps; or two anchors will be used. With the recent additions of new talent for the show, the latter format has been utilized more recently. It should also be noted that there is never one mainstay anchor team, as anchor teams vary from night to night.

From Thursdays through Sundays during tournament play, from about 11 AM Eastern to 3 PM, one single anchor will give half-hourly updates on current tournament leaderboards.

As mentioned earlier, talent on the show varies from night to night, but in the show's rotation are about 10 people who appear on the show in anchor roles. Those people are Mike Ritz, Steve Sands, Jennifer Mills, Megan West, Kraig Kann, Rich Lerner, Vince Cellini, Iain Page, Kelly Tilghman, and Brian Hammons. Stephanie Sparks is not a regular anchor on the half-hour show, but she does occasionally anchor the brief, half-hourly updates during tournament play.
