The excitement is pumping, the roar of the spectators is through the roof, and the adrenaline-filled four days of action are finally here! With top names and unexpected results in the past, this edition of the US Women’s Open is already packed with anticipation. Still, away from the golfers that will take the center stage, there is a list of names that would bring the broadcast to life with their profound experience and unmatched skill of delivering the moments with the elegance of words.

Along with the top names, including Nelly Korda, Yuka Saso, Minjee Lee, Mao Saigo, and A Lim Kim, the broadcasting list will keep the 79-year-old legacy alive. Even though the event will tee off on May 29 at 7:45 AM ET, the commentators will take charge early on, starting from May 28 at 11 AM ET. Wonder who these names are? Let’s find out.

Broadcasters who will elevate the 80th edition of the U.S. Women’s Open

The broadcast for the week will be taken care of by the USA Network and NBC, while for streaming, Peacock and the NBC Sports app will take the responsibility. But irrespective of the broadcasting medium, the team, including the experienced professional, will deliver in-depth coverage of the action live from Erin Hills.

For play-by-play coverage, Dan Hicks and Cara Banks will be in action along with the golfers. The professional, with his proficiency as a sportscaster in golf and the Olympics, became one of the leading commentators. The 62-year-old who has been a part of NBC’s team since 1992, will bring his 33 years of experience to the prestigious major of the LPGA Tour schedule.

Along with him, Cara Banks, who was part of the Paris Olympics coverage and the Presidents Cup at Royal Montreal, will be elevating the on-course coverage with her experience. She has been a renowned name in golf, and her experience stretches to working with multiple sports channels, including BBC, Sky Sports, and Golf Channel.

Along with the two covering play-by-play, Morgan Pressel and Karen Stupples will be the analysts of the event. The American and English professional, respectively, will be sharing the in-depth knowledge of their experience and the ongoing event. Additionally, at holes, Tom Abbott will voice his stance, while Karen Stuppes, Paige Mackenzie, and Kay Cockerill will be actively covering the on-course action. To conclude all the action, the reporter, Amy Rogers, will also be on her toes.

Well, if you got excited just by this list, then there’s more to add about the featured groups that will have the full attention of fans and players.

For the event, four featured groups with top names will be teeing off. Starting from 7:40 AM, 7:51 AM, 1:25 PM, and 1:36 PM ET on the first day, the likes of Korda, Saso, Lee, and many others will be in action. To cover the excitement-filled round, Damon Hack and George Savaricas will take care of play-by-play coverage. Both Hack and Savaricas have been working for the Golf Channel since 2012 and 2013, respectively.

However, along with the two, Amanda Blumenherst, the American professional golfer, will take charge as an analyst. Emilia Doran, who is currently covering the NCAA Men’s quarters and semis, will also join the team for the on-course coverage.
