Paul Azinger has been named Johnny Miller’s replacement as NBC Sports’ lead golf analyst. He’ll take the tee box — err, reins — in early 2019 following Miller’s retirement at the Waste Management Phoenix Open (Jan. 31-Feb. 3).
In addition to calling tournaments on NBC and the Golf Channel, Azinger will contribute to “Golf Central’s Live From the Masters,” and create content for Golf Channel’s instructional platforms. He’ll also develop documentary projects for the cable network’s “Golf Films.”
Azinger’s NBC Sports schedule will officially kick off at the Wgc-Mexico Championship (Feb. 21-24). NBC Sports will allow Azinger to continue to call The Masters for the BBC, as well as the U.S. Open and U.S. Women’s Open on Fox.
