Balionis’ salary likely leans closer towards the higher end of that scale, however, considering the broadcaster has proven to be an incredibly important asset when it comes to golf, NFL and college football coverage. Her long standing tenure at CBS additionally increases her value.

On the heels of Xander Schauffele’s thrilling victory over Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy at the PGA Championship last month, the 39-year-old praised her CBS team for their incredible work covering the tournament.
