Dan Hicks, the renowned sportscaster who defined golf commentary and called historic Olympic and Notre Dame games, died Wednesday at age 64.
Hicks spent 35 years at NBC Sports, joining in 1992 after three years at CNN, becoming the signature voice of golf coverage, calling 27 Tiger Woods tournament victories, 27 U.S. Opens, 23 U.S. Women's Opens, the Ryder Cup, PGA Tour and British Open, as well as eight Olympic swimming events alongside Rowdy Gaines.
He is survived by his wife, ESPN anchor Hannah Storm, and their three daughters, Hannah, Ellery and Riley. NBC and his family announced his death Thursday, confirming he passed after a brief illness.
