It ain't no hobby any longer for Kevin Kisner.
Kisner, a four-time PGA Tour winner, has been named lead analyst for NBC Sports’ golf coverage, starting in 2025. Kisner will join play-by-play commentator Dan Hicks in the booth for NBC's coverage of PGA Tour events and major championships, including the US Open, The Open Championship, The Players, the FedEx Cup Playoffs and the Ryder Cup.
Kisner will maintain a limited playing schedule on the PGA Tour and be replaced in those applicable weeks with a rotating cast of analysts.
“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,” said Kisner.
“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. That’s what I think I do best. I’m also excited to continue to compete on the PGA Tour amongst my peers, which I think will help me to tap into what these guys are really feeling on the course.”
Kisner made his debut as an analyst on NBC Sports’ PGA Tour coverage in 2024. He debuted for a time in Hawaii at The Sentry, and he appeared at events including the WM Phoenix Open, The Players and the FedEx Cup Playoffs. Kisner also joined Smylie Kaufman for the well-received “Happy Hour” coverage during events.
“Kevin always shared frank and honest opinions about the game of golf during our various conversations through the years,” said NBC Sports’ lead golf producer Tommy Roy. “Those kinds of opinions and his engaging personality make Kiz a great fit for our broadcast team. He knows these players, he knows this game, and the audience will get to hear more of those opinions and that personality this season.”
In addition to his four PGA Tour wins, Kisner was a member of the US Presidents Cup teams in 2017 and 2022, and he was a captain’s assistant at the 2024 Presidents Cup in Montreal.
