Could we have a leader in the clubhouse for the vacant NBC golf analyst position? NBC announced a name previously featured in its 2024 PGA Tour coverage would return for another event — Kevin Kisner. The former Tour champion will call NBC’s coverage of the 50th Players Championship from The Stadium Course at TPC Sawgrass in Ponte Vedra Beach, FL.
Since late last year, NBC has held “tryouts” for its vacant analyst position following former analyst Paul Azinger’s departure from the network last November. Kisner assumed the lead analyst role for NBC’s first two events of 2024 and would be the only analyst the company has used to return for more work. Other names who have signed on for work at NBC include Luke Donald, Brandel Chamblee, and Jim “Bones” Mackay, among others.
“Kevin did a great job in the booth with Dan Hicks earlier this year and his work with Smylie Kaufman on the 16th hole at the WM Phoenix Open made for great TV, so we’re happy we can once again pair Kevin with Dan and have Kevin join Smylie at the 17th hole at TPC Sawgrass next Friday,” said Tommy Roy, NBC Sports’ lead golf producer in a statement.
NBC Sports’ coverage of the 50th anniversary of The PLAYERS Championship at The Stadium Course at TPC Sawgrass in Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla, airs across NBC, GOLF Channel, and Peacock from March 14-17.
