Last month Golfweek was first to report that Brad Faxon and Smylie Kaufman would be joining NBC Sports and Golf Channel in 2023 to fill the places of Gary Koch and Roger Maltbie. On Tuesday the network made the move official.
Faxon, an eight-time winner on the PGA Tour, will be a hole announcer and contributor for NBC Sports’ studio coverage and will debut next month at the Honda Classic. Kaufman, also a winner on Tour, will join Notah Begay III, Arron Oberholser and John Wood as an on-course reporter. The network also announced that Curt Byrum will serve as an announcer, taking the place of fan-favorite David Feherty, who left to work for LIV Golf.
