Last month, Smylie Kaufman and Kevin Kisner made waves when the duo called golf shots live on the 16th hole at the WM Phoenix Open. It’s a formula that had so much success, it’s coming back.
Kaufman confirmed Tuesday on “Live from The Players” on Golf Channel that he and Kisner would again comment on golf shots live from the 17th hole at TPC Sawgrass during the 2024 Players Championship. The duo will team up for Kaufman’s “Happy Hour” for an hour during Friday’s coverage.
Last week, Jordan Spieth and Max Homa joined Kaufman for “Happy Hour” on the 16th hole at Bay Hill, another segment viewers loved.
Fans have long clamored for golf broadcasts to change and be better for viewers. Kaufman and NBC Sports have taken big steps this year by trying something new and unorthodox, but it’s working.
