NASSAU, Bahamas — NBC Sports will name Kevin Kisner its lead golf analyst for the 2025 PGA Tour season. The Sports Business Journal was the first to break the news, and multiple sources familiar with the matter confirmed the move with Golf Digest. NBC is expected to announce Kisner’s position as soon as Wednesday afternoon.

NBC used a rotation of names in the booth this year as it tried to fill the void of long-time analyst Paul Azinger, who departed at the end of 2023. Kisner debuted with the network at the Sentry in Maui in January and worked several other tournaments including the WM Phoenix Open, the Players Championship and FedEx Cup playoffs, receiving strong reviews for his performance behind the mic.

Kisner, a four-time PGA Tour winner who has played regularly on the tour since 2011, 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. However, the 40-year-old has struggled inside the ropes this season, ranking 198th in the regular season FedEx standings and failing to improve his rank during the fall slate. Kisner is still expected to play a limited schedule in 2025.

Multiple sources familiar with NBC Sports’ thinking tell Golf Digest that Brad Faxon will likely take over duties on the occasions when Kisner’s commentating and playing schedules overlap.

Kisner has played in 322 career events on tour and earning more than $29 million. The last of his four victories at the 2021 Wyndham Championship. He also served as an assistant captain for the United States in September at the Presidents Cup.
