Kevin Kisner to Serve as Analyst for NBC Sports at Sentry & Phoenix Open
PGA Tour golfer Kevin Kisner will serve as an analyst during NBC Sports coverage of the Sentry Tournament of Champions and the WM Phoenix Open, NBC announced on Sunday.
“I’m excited to have this opportunity with NBC Sports to watch the game of golf from the other side and comment on what I’m seeing on the course. I’ve always respected how Tommy Roy and NBC Sports’ golf production team presents golf on television. I look forward to being a part of the broadcast team at The Sentry and the WM Phoenix Open and providing my insights to the viewers at home,” said Kisner in a press release.
This announcement comes a little while after Paul Azinger was let go by the company.
“I have always found Kevin to be very forthright, honest, and fearless when sharing his thoughts and opinions about the game, whether it’s in a conversation on the driving range or during his pre- and post-round press conferences. We think his style will translate well to the viewers at home and we’re excited to have him join the NBC Sports broadcast team at The Sentry and the WM Phoenix Open,” said Tommy Roy, lead producer for NBC Sports’ golf coverage.
The Sentry Tournament of Champions will take place from January 4-7, while the WM Phoenix Open will be from February 8-11.
Kisner will make his NBC Sports debut at The Sentry alongside the broadcast team of Dan Hicks, Curt Byrum, Mark Rolfing, John Wood, Smylie Kaufman and Todd Lewis.
Kisner is a four-time PGA Tour winner and was on the U.S. Presidents Cup teams in 2017 and 2022.
