KIRSTY GALLACHER will not present Sky Sports' Masters coverage for the second year in a row because of an "editorial decision".
The poster girl of Sky Sports News, 42, was axed for the first time last year as part of a reported cost-cutting exercise, something Sky later denied.
And she will again not be at the season's first Major, with glamour rival Sarah Stirk taking over her duties.
Sky have had the Masters since 2011 and Gallacher - who in September was banned from driving for two years after being caught three times over the limit - has been a mainstay of the coverage.
In 2015 she memorably interviewed Rory McIlroy as Niall Horan, his caddie for the par-three tournament, fell over behind them.
But she went on holiday during Masters week last year after reportedly being "very upset" with the call to remove her.
Gallacher, daughter of 1995 Ryder Cup winning captain Bernard Gallacher, will this year stay in her normal role as a presenter on Sky Sports News.
A source said: "It was an editorial decision not to send Kirsty to the Masters."
Stirk, who fronts Sky Sports Golf's US PGA Tour and European Tour coverage, will travel to Augusta alongside lead anchor David Livingstone.
He will be joined in the studio by Tiger Woods' ex-coach Butch Harmon and former victorious Ryder Cup captain Paul McGinley.
Always a pleasure to interview Paul Mcginley @therydercup
Looking forward to a great week ahead here at #hazeltinenational @therydercup
James Haddock will be Sky Sports News' golf correspondent on-site in Georgia.
Mother-of-two Gallacher, who also fronted Sky's Ryder Cup coverage in Hazeltine in 2016, blamed the "stress" of her marriage breakdown after admitting drink-driving.
She was arrested on August 12 last year in Eton, Berks, after cops "smelled alcohol" on her breath on her way to her ex-husband's house.
Slough Magistrates' Court heard how the 41-year-old was going through tough divorce proceedings with Paul Sampson at the time.
