PITTSBURGH – At about 2:30 p.m. on Sunday, Mike Tirico was near the 18th green at Augusta, watching Tiger Woods win the Masters.
At about 2:30 p.m. on Monday, he was checking into a hotel room in Pittsburgh, preparing to work his first career NHL playoff game.
In between, he watched a recording of Game 3 of the Islanders-Penguins series at the Atlanta airport, flew to New York, appeared on the “Today” show to talk golf, then flew here to call Game 4 on Tuesday night for NBCSN.
“It’s been a whirlwind, but it’s cool,” he said.
