Kevin Kisner struggled with his game last season, so he didn’t qualify for the first signature event of the year, The Sentry. However, Kisner did make the trip to Kapalua’s Plantation Course in Maui. Why?
To make his broadcasting debut with NBC.
Kisner has long been a fan favorite, known for his great sense of humor, incredible interview moments and lack of pretentious attitude that can be found with some on Tour.
His first appearance in the booth came during the second round Friday, and he’ll be back on the call Saturday and Sunday. NBC’s coverage over the weekend runs from 4-6 p.m. ET before Golf Channel/Peacock takes over until 8 p.m.

I think they’re going to let me come back tomorrow so all that had the over on making it past day 1 go to the window to collect!

Here’s what fans had to say on social media about listening to Kisner call the action in Hawaii.
Kis is predictably great in the booth.
Really good golf nerd stuff and not just doing an impression of an announcer. Not trying too hard to be funny. Got good anecdotes about each player.
Way in.

Kisner describing why the lack of options for chipping at Kapalua is the exact reason I can watch golf as a fan for hours.
He’s crushing it.

Brandel just asked Kevin Kisner if he’d like to make a career out of broadcasting. His response was “we will see if they even let me come out again tomorrow. Who knows what’s going to come out of my mouth” 😂😂 never change @K_Kisner
