Kevin Kisner is preparing for his debut as part of NBC Sports' Golf Channel coverage at The Sentry in Hawaii this week. The four-time PGA Tour winner is the first of several high-profile names auditioning to be Paul Azinger's replacement after the experienced broadcaster left his post shortly after the Ryder Cup in Rome, Italy.
Azinger did not have his contract extended by NBC following October's Ryder Cup finale, and it was later reported by Sports Illustrated that the man who followed on from legendary commentator Johnny Miller was in the middle of negotiating a new deal when the decision to part ways was made.
