Lisa Dergan has learned a few things about competition. At
the early age of twelve, Lisa started playing golf with her
mother. Lisa took to the game very quickly and became a
fierce competitor. Her mother taught her to play by the rules
and to leave mulligans for those of less character. Lisa's
compassion for the sport along with her interest in broadcast
journalism has converged to make her one of the standout
female sports reporters of today.
Dergan, a FOX Sports Net reporter since January 2002, has
reported live from such events as NBA Laker Basketball games,
the Kentucky Derby, major PGA tournaments, NHL All Star Game
and the Indy 500, along with other numerous events. On
September 7, 2002, Dergan will be hosting FOX Sports Net's
NFL Celebrity Golf Shootout.
You may also recognize Dergan from her national TV
commercials for Bud Light also starring Wayne Gretzky, and as
the newly appointed spokes person for Otomix Fitness. Dergan
is a mainstay on the Celebrity Players Tour and is sponsored
by Callaway Golf.
Dergan started her broadcast journalist career in 2001 with
future Hall of Fame Sportscaster Jim Hill on the #1 rated
weekend TV sports show in Los Angeles, "Sports Central" on
KCBS. She was live every Sunday with Jim Hill, Steve Hartman
and Brett Lewis covering the entire NFL season. She has also
Co-Hosted with Ken Ober (2001-2002) on the USA Network game
show "SMUSH." She is a former Playboy Playmate and Guess

In 1995, Dergan graduated with a bachelor's degree in art

at U.C.L.A.
