NBC Sports has announced its commentary team for the upcoming 124th U.S. Open on June 13-16 at Pinehurst Resort & C.C. (Course No. 2) across NBC Sports, Peacock and USA Network.
NBC Sports’ commentator parings are led by long-time lead golf play-by-play voice Dan Hicks alongside analyst Brandel Chamblee, and Mike Tirico working alongside analyst Brad Faxon.
NBC Sports’ U.S. Open broadcast team includes the returns of Jim “Bones” Mackay and Roger Maltbie as on-course reporters and Gary Koch as an analyst.
“This year we began utilizing an odd/even system of hole assignments for our commentator pairings,” said Sam Flood, executive producer and president, production, NBC Sports. “Our new approach lets our play-by-play announcers give more context for what’s happening, while creating more opportunities for our analysts and on-course reporters to engage with each other and break down the ‘why’ and the ‘how’ before and after each moment.”
