Ryder Cup 2023: Broadcast teams for TV, streaming, radio coverage of Team USA
The 2023 Ryder Cup tees off at Marco Simone Golf & Country Club north of Rome on Thursday with practice rounds for both Team USA and Team Europe. Arguably the biggest spectacle in golf features a mix of returning golfers and first-time competitors for Team USA as the Americans look to win on European soil for the first time in 30 years.
More than 100 hours of live coverage of the 44th Ryder Cup will be spread out over multiple networks and streaming options, per NBC. They'll be led by the same broadcast team throughout the weekend's action.

Play-by-play announcer Dan Hicks leads TV coverage of the Ryder Cup once again this weekend. Hicks started out as an on-course reporter in 1993, the last time Team USA won overseas.
"The longer I’m in this business, it’s clearer and clearer that the Ryder Cups stand alone for the energy, the spectacle, the visuals, highlight reel, the sheer power of it all," he said on a conference call with NBC Thursday.
Joining Hicks are five analysts: Paul Azinger, Curt Byrum, Terry Gannon, Jim Gallagher Jr., and Justin Leonard. Azinger and Gallagher Jr. played together in the 1993 Ryder Cup.
"This is an emotional event for the players," Azinger said Thursday. "It means the world to them. I think for Europe it’s immeasurable what it means for them to win the Ryder Cup."
On-course reporter John Wood, who spent more than 20 years as a caddie for the PGA Tour as well as Ryder and Presidents Cups, and Steve Sands, who will perform interviews, round out the broadcast team.
Todd Lewis, Mark Rolfing, Tom Abbott, and Gallagher Jr. will provide extra coverage for streaming on Peacock, RyderCup.com, and the Ryder Cup app.
Sirius XM will provide coverage starting on Friday on channel No. 92 and on the SiriusXM app. The commentator team features Mark Carnevale, Brian Katrek, Colt Knost, John Maginnes, Drew Stoltz, and Taylor Zarzour.
