Longtime NBC Sports Announcer Dan Hicks Dies at 64
His family said the veteran golf announcer died after an acute illness, leaving behind a three-decade NBC Sports career and a lasting broadcasting legacy.
On Thursday, November 12, 2026, longtime NBC Sports broadcaster Dan Hicks died at age 64 following an acute illness, his wife ESPN broadcaster Hannah Storm announced.
During his 34-year tenure at NBC Sports, Hicks became the network's signature voice for golf while also covering Olympic swimming, alpine skiing, and Notre Dame football.
His most memorable broadcasts included calling Tiger Woods' 2008 U.S. Open victory and the American men's 4x100-meter freestyle relay comeback at the 2008 Beijing Olympics.
NBC Sports executives Rick Cordella, Sam Flood, and Molly Solomon called Hicks an "exceptional storyteller," while his family remembered him as a "devoted husband" and "cherished friend."
Before his passing, Hicks was scheduled to call this weekend's game between the Fighting Irish and Boston College alongside analyst Jason Garrett and sideline reporter Caroline Pineda.
