As NBC Sports continues its search for a full-time analyst to work alongside Dan Hicks in the booth for its coverage of the PGA Tour, a familiar name will be in the seat at this weekâs American Express in La Quinta, California.
Brandel Chamblee will assume the role of lead analyst for this weekâs coverage. Terry Gannon will have play-by-play duties, as the duo will lead the coverage on Golf Channel and Peacock.
Four-time PGA Tour winner Kevin Kisner was in the booth at The Sentry, and longtime analyst Curt Byrum took over last week at the Sony Open in Hawaii as NBC Sports looks to fill the role formerly occupied by Paul Azinger.
Paul McGinley called the action at the Hero World Challenge in early December. Chamblee is the latest in what appears to be a rotating cast of characters, but he has appeared plenty before for NBC Sports, including at the Open Championship.
Chamblee has become a figurehead in the PGA Tour vs. LIV Golf debate with his staunch defense of the PGA Tour, and he even got into a social media debate in recent weeks about commercial load for events on television.
Golf Channel and Peacock will air live coverage of the American Express from 4-7 p.m. ET from Thursday to Saturday.
