STAMFORD, Conn. — Four-time PGA Tour winner Kevin Kisner will serve as an analyst for NBC Sports’ coverage of the PGA Tour FedExCup Playoffs, including the Tour Championship at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta.
Kisner will work alongside play-by-play commentator Dan Hicks while Brad Faxon will serve as an analyst with play-by-play commentator Terry Gannon throughout NBC Sports’ FedExCup Playoff coverage.
Kisner made his debut as an analyst on NBC Sports’ PGA Tour coverage at the 2024 season opener at The Sentry at Plantation Course at Kapalua. Kisner also served as an analyst at the WM Phoenix Open and The Players Championship and joined Smylie Kaufman for “Happy Hour” coverage at TPC Scottsdale’s raucous 16th hole and TPC Sawgrass’ iconic 17th hole during those events.
NBC Sports’ coverage of the FedExCup Playoffs across NBC, Golf Channel and Peacock begins with the FedEx St. Jude Championship at TPC Southwind in Memphis on Aug. 15-18, continues with the BMW Championship at Castle Pines Golf Club in Castle Rock, Colo., on Aug. 22-25, and concludes with the TOUR Championship in Atlanta from Aug. 29-Sept. 1.
The Aiken native has won four times on the PGA Tour, including victories in the 2019 WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play and the 2021 Wyndham Championship, and was a member of the U.S. team at the Presidents Cup in 2017 and 2022. Earlier this year, U.S. Presidents Cup captain Jim Furyk announced that Kisner would serve as one of his captain’s assistants for this September’s Presidents Cup in Montreal alongside Stewart Cink and Justin Leonard.
As part of NBC Sports’ comprehensive coverage of the FedExCup Playoffs, Golf Channel’s Golf Central studio show will be on-site with pre- and post-round coverage at all three Playoff events for the first time. Coverage from the FedEx St. Jude Championship will begin at 1 p.m. Aug. 15 on Golf Channel and Peacock.
Kisner is in action this week at the Wyndham Championship, the Tour’s final regular-season event. Heavy rain and wind from Tropical Storm Debby wiped out the first round of the on Thursday, forcing the final regular-season event of the PGA Tour to start on Friday at rain-soaked Sedgefield Country Club.
Matt Kuchar says he feels bad for those who had to come back Monday morning for him to finish the Wyndham Championship. But he says there was a reason why he chose not to finish in darkness. He says he wanted to set an example for rookie Max Greyserman that he could stop if he wanted. The only problem is Kuchar didn’t realize Aaron Rai in the group ahead had finished with a birdie. That means Greyserman was two shots behind and unlikely to win. Kuchar came back and scrambled for a par to finish in a tie for 12th.

Morgane Metraux had a round to remember in the Paris Olympics. She was 8 under on the front nine at Le Golf National and got everyone’s attention. The 27-year-old from Switzerland had to settle for a 66. But she holds the 36-hole lead by one shot over former Women’s PGA Championship winner Ruoning Yin of China. Lydia Ko was only three behind as she goes for her third straight medal. The gold variety puts her in the LPGA Hall of Fame. Nelly Korda was right there until a quadruple bogey on the 16th hole. She shot 70 and was six shots back. Read moreSwiss surprise in Olympic golf as Morgane Metraux takes the lead
