Kevin Kisner to return to booth for PGA Tour playoffs
Kevin Kisner is returning to the booth for the PGA Tour’s postseason.
Kisner debuted with NBC Sports earlier in 2024 at the Sentry in Maui, and worked several other tournaments including the WM Phoenix Open and the Players Championship, receiving strong reviews for his performance behind the mic. Though Kisner has previously said he’s not hanging it up as a player—”I have to prove to myself that I’m not going out like this,” he told Golf Digest’s Loop podcast earlier this year—the 40-year-old has struggled inside the ropes this season, ranking 198th in the FedEx Cup standings entering the regular-season finale at the Wyndham Championship.
So it’s not a surprise that NBC announced Thursday that Kisner will work with Dan Hicks for the three FedEx Cup Playoff events, starting next week in Memphis. NBC will also utilize Brad Faxon as an analyst with play-by-play commentator Terry Gannon throughout the network’s postseason coverage.
NBC has used a rotation of names in the booth this year as it tries to fill the void of departed analyst Paul Azinger. It is unclear if NBC will announce a long-term replacement for the 2025 season.
Following the FedEx Cup, Kisner will work with Team USA at the Presidents Cup as an assistant captain to Jim Furyk. Kisner has played in 316 career events on tour, capturing four wins and over $29 million in earnings.
