RIP Dan πππ
Dan Hicks, longtime lead golf play-by-play announcer for NBC Sports, has died following an acute illness. He was 64.
Β
Across three decades, Hicks provided the soundtrack to some of golfβs most memorable moments. The Arizona native joined NBC in 1992 and assumed the networkβs lead play-by-play role in 2000, his broadcast style defined by a steady delivery, unmistakable enthusiasm, and ability to capture the significance of a moment.
Β
Hicks anchored weekend coverage of The Players Championship for nearly three decades and was behind the microphone for the evolution of the FedExCup, in addition to several major championships, bringing his composed approach to golfβs biggest stages.Β
Β
ForΒ nearly two decades, Hicks worked alongside renowned analyst Johnny Miller in one of golf televisionβs defining broadcast partnerships. Hicks provided a measured presence, guiding viewers through the tension and unpredictability of a final round.
Β
After graduating from the University of Arizona, Hicks began his broadcasting career inΒ local radio and television before joining CNN in 1989. He moved to NBC Sports three years later,Β with assignments including Olympic swimming, alpineΒ skiingΒ and Notre Dame football. Golf, one of his favorite recreational pastimes, became an enduring beat. His voice will always be synonymous with the game.
Β
Hicks is survived by his wife, sports broadcaster Hannah Storm, and their three daughters.Β
Β
Rest in Peace, Dan Hicks.

November 5, 1980. βThe Riverβ had been released less than three weeks earlier.
In the middle of all that explosive energy, Bruce slows everything down. A few notes of harmonica, a voice, a story.
βThe River.β β€οΈ

When you open with Born to Run you know youβre in for a hell of a show
November 5, 1980. Tempe, Arizona. Bruce and the E Street Band open with βBorn to Run.β No warm-up. π₯
46 years later, weβre reliving that night, one song at a time. And weβre just getting started.
