Amanda Balionis Wasn't Wearing A Wedding Ring & The Internet Noticed

What happened to Amanda Balionis' wedding ring? With Tiger Woods out of the Genesis Invitational, all eyes, for the Internet, turned to the ring finger of CBS 19th hole reporter Balionis who has suddenly become the talk of the golf world over her naked finger. 

"Can we get an investigation here?  She is no longer wearing a wedding ring this weekend on the CBS coverage???  Need OutKick to get to work on this ASAP," OutKick reader Jeff F. emailed Monday morning. 

Here I had no idea so many people were keeping up with Amanda's marital status. After a quick Twitter investigation, it turns out I was wrong. There are A BUNCH of people who wonder if Amanda and her husband Bryn Renner are having issues or if the ring just happened to slip off Amanda's finger. 

Here's Amanda's naked finger during the weekend coverage from Riviera:

Here's what the engagement ring looked like on Amanda's finger in 2021 before Renner added a wedding ring to the ensemble in 2022: 

What's going on here? If there's a marital issue, Amanda isn't saying anything. She's straight business on her social media channels. She posted the requisite updates from Riviera, including Sunday's Instagram post where she wasn't wearing that massive rock. 

"AB - what’s going on ? [wedding ring emoji]" one Instagram observer wrote. 

Again, she ain't sayin' a thing, folks. 

Everyone needs to relax here. There's probably a great reason why she's not wearing a wedding ring: 

  1. It's possible the ring isn't fitting right and she sent it in to have it fixed
  2. Maybe there was a rock loose and it's in the shop being worked on
  3. She lost it? In a 2017 survey, 14% of married women said they had lost their wedding rings
  4. It's being cleaned?
  5. California is dangerous and Amanda didn't think it was safe to be walking around with a giant rock on her finger?

She was wearing it February 3 at Pebble Beach: 

Meanwhile, Twitter is losing its mind: 

What happened to the Balionis rock?
