Carmel’s Ariana Savich: A Golf Channel Stalwart By Mike May When you watch the LPGA Tour on Golf Channel, one of the key cogs in the entire broadcast is a Hoosier native, Ariana Savich, born, raised, and educated in Carmel. Savich is a graphics producer for all Golf Channel LPGA broadcasts. One of her jobs is to make sure that what appears on the television screen is timely, accurate, and spelled correctly. If she makes a mistake, it’s seen globally, but she and her associates don’t make mistakes. Savich graduated from Carmel High School in 2010 and played for four years on the girls’ varsity golf team. The team played their matches at Plum Creek Golf Club in Carmel and during two of her high school years, her sister, Milena was also on the golf team. The Lady Greyhounds tied for the 2009 Indiana State Championship but had to settle for runner-up after a scorecard playoff. “We lost on the fifth score,” recalls Savich. After high school, Ariana continued to play competitive golf at Missouri University. She graduated from college in 2014 with a degree in communications. She tried her hand briefly at professional golf but was hired by the Golf Channel and has steadily risen through the ranks. “I started as a production assistant in the studio in Orlando and then working the live (golf) tournaments and traveling on the road in 2016.” If you looked at her travel schedule, you might think that she is covering a Presidential candidate. Her schedule takes her from New Jersey to Hawaii, plus involves international travel to Indiana Golf Journal
