Golf Broadcaster Dan Hicks Passes Away at 64
Long-time golf broadcaster Dan Hicks has passed away at the age of 64.
According to the PGA Tour, and numerous others, Hicks passed away following an “acute illness.”
Hicks was the voice of NBC’s golf coverage for just over three decades after joining the network in 1992, and took over play-by-play in 2000.
He called Players Championships, Ryder Cups, President’s Cups and U.S. Opens, providing the sound track to some of the most memorable moments in golf history.
Along with golf, Hicks also was a main stay for NBC’s Olympic coverage, particularly when it came to swimming and alpine skiing.
