The golf and sports world is mourning the passing of legendary NBC Sports commentator Dan Hicks. Hicks passed away on Wednesday, Nov. 11, following a battle with an acute illness, as announced on social media by his wife, Hannah Storm, on Thursday.
Remembering His Legacy
Hannah Storm paid tribute to her husband in a social media statement, highlighting his vibrant personality and warm character. “Dan was truly one of a kind and, quite simply, the person everyone wanted to be around. When he walked into a room, he brought the energy, the laughter and all the people together. He was endlessly kind, thoughtful and funny, and he made everyone feel like they mattered,” Storm stated.
Throughout his distinguished career, Hicks served as the lead golf play-by-play commentator for NBC Sports, a role he held since covering the PGA Tour starting in 2000. In addition to his extensive work on the golf course, he lent his voice to swimming and skiing events at the Olympic Games. Most recently, he returned to the microphone in 2024 as the lead play-by-play voice for Notre Dame Football, as originally reported by Golfweek.
