Meet Dan Hicks, an American play-by-play sports anchor and sportscaster for NBC who primarily does commentary for golf. See a video and a biography of Dan Hicks here.


Hicks is currently the NBC commentator for the on-going Arnold Palmer Invitational which was played at Bay Hill Club in Orlando, Florida.

It’s not his comeback (it’s the second after he returned on the tour), but this tournament is something in which he’s been playing up to his reputation and he recently pulled off an exciting win to lift the title.

Going into commercial breaks, Hicks said, “One of the greatest things on a golf course, a Tiger Sunday Charge,” and “Tiger Woods, just one stroke behind.” co-commentator Johnny Miller uttered.
