Longtime NBC Sports and golf announcer Dan Hicks has died. He was 64.
Hicks spent 34 years with NBC Sports, which remembered him on Thursday as an “extraordinary colleague, friend and person.”
“From Olympic swimming and skiing to Notre Dame football, numerous other high-profile events and especially as the signature voice of our golf coverage for the last 26 years, Dan’s blend of knowledge, style, enthusiasm and humor informed and entertained fans for decades,” NBC Sports said in a social media post.
Hicks had given play-by-play commentary for PGA TOUR coverage since 2000, and anchored the U.S. Open, The Open Championship, Ryder Cup, President’s Cup and U.S. Women’s Open.
He leaves behind his wife, Hannah, and three daughters.
