our-time PGA TOUR winner Kevin Kisner has been named lead analyst for NBC Sports’ golf coverage, joining veteran play-by-play commentator Dan Hicks in the booth for the 2025 Ryder Cup on Sept. 26–28 and the networks’ presentations of PGA TOUR events and major championships leading up to the Ryder Cup.
Kisner will serve as lead analyst for the majority of men’s golf events on NBC, including the Ryder Cup, U.S. Open, Open Championship, Players Championship and the FedExCup Playoffs. He will also maintain a limited playing schedule on the PGA TOUR.
“I’m humbled and grateful to have the chance to sit in the seat that many legends like Johnny Miller and Paul Azinger have sat in before me on NBC,” says Kisner, who tied for seventh at the 2007 PGA Championship at Quail Hollow Club, site of the 2025 PGA Championship. “I’m looking forward to offering a different voice and adding a new dynamic to the broadcasts, hopefully reaching more fans and telling things like it is.”
Kisner made his debut as an analyst on NBC Sports’ PGA TOUR coverage in 2024, which included the WM Phoenix Open, The Players and the FedExCup Playoffs.
The Aiken, South Carolina, native has won four times on the PGA TOUR, and was a member of the U.S. Team at the Presidents Cup in 2017 and 2022. Kisner helped lead the University of Georgia to the 2005 NCAA Division I Championship.
