Behind the Scenes of the NBC Sports Kevin Kisner Hire
After an extensive year-long search, NBC Sports has finally unveiled its choice to succeed retiring golf analyst Paul Azinger. The unexpected pick? Kevin Kisner—a beloved figure on the PGA Tour, despite having no prior broadcasting experience.
Insiders reveal to Golf Digest that Kisner’s inexperience raised eyebrows among NBC executives. Yet, they were ultimately captivated by his “natural charisma” and remarkable “ability to connect with viewers.”
Kisner is set to join NBC’s golf coverage team this January, teaming up with Dan Hicks, Frank Nobilo, and Paul Goydos for what promises to be an exciting new chapter in sports commentary
Golf analyst and former Ryder Cup captain Paul Azinger announced today that he would be making a surprise return to golf broadcasting.
Azinger, 62, retired from broadcasting in 2018 to focus on his health. He was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma in 2013 and has been battling the disease ever since.
In a statement, Azinger said he was “feeling great” and was “excited to get back to work.” He will join the Golf Channel’s broadcast team for this week’s Honda Classic.
CBS legend Jim Nantz took to the mic following Monday afternoon’s final round of the 150th Open Championship to express his dislike for the new par-3 13th hole at St Andrews. In an article by Brian Wacker for Golf Digest, the broadcaster referred to the Greg Norman-redesigned hole as “one of the most absurd par threes that we’ve ever seen.”
Nantz made these controversial comments while on the air following Rory McIlroy’s victory at the Old Course, which is widely considered “the home of golf.”
“I can’t stand looking at it,” Nantz said. “That’s one of the great marvels, that beautiful landscape, that wonderful golf course, [but] you stick a postage stamp right in the middle of it … And the green is so small that if you miss it, it’s almost an automatic bogey.”
