Kevin Kisner Named NBC Sports Lead Golf Analyst

Kevin Kisner has been named NBC Sports' lead golf analyst for the 2025 season, concluding a year-long search following Paul Azinger's departure. Kisner, a four-time PGA Tour winner, will maintain limited playing privileges while balancing his broadcasting duties alongside Dan Hicks for major events like the U.S. Open and The Open Championship. He previously showcased his broadcasting potential during the 2024 season with well-received stints in the lead chair, prompting NBC's decision. Despite his new role, Kisner plans to compete on the PGA Tour and participate in Tiger Woods' tech-infused league, TGL. NBC aims to establish a consistent lead analyst after a rotating booth in 2024, enhancing its presentation for golf audiences. Kisner's appointment marks a strategic shift for NBC as it seeks to solidify its golf coverage.
