He’s been pulling double duty all year, working as the lead analyst on NBC’s golf coverage while also still playing PGA Tour events he’s not calling from the booth.
At this week’s ISCO Championship, Kevin Kisner is enjoying his best outing of 2025. And it’s his best by a mile.
Kisner has posted scores of 66-69 at Hurstbourne Country Club in Louisville, which is debuting as host this season. It’s the first time all year he’s posted back-to-back scores in the 60s. In fact, in 26 rounds this year, Kisner has only broken 70 six times, including Thursday and Friday this week.
He’s entered 12 events and missed the cut 11 times but this week, you don’t have to scroll too far down the leaderboard to find his name. He was tied for fifth after the conclusion of his round and will play a weekend for the first time since the Valspar Championship in March, where he tied for 70th.
“Well, it feels great. I haven’t played well all year. I’ve been close, missed a bunch of cuts by one. But I’m here to win,” he said. “Basically the only thing that can help my life is to win so put it all on the line here the next couple days.”
He was then asked if he’s noticed an uptick in fan support since he was named the lead analyst on NBC.
“For sure. I told somebody I’m more famous calling 10 tournaments in the booth than I am playing 400 times on the Tour. So I appreciate it.” he said. “People seem to like what I’m doing in the booth and hopefully I can keep that up.”
