The news was first reported by Golfweek, which said the 38-year-old’s contract has not been renewed by Golf Channel’s owner, Versant. Replaced in the booth this week at The Annika by Paige Mackenzie, Pressel won’t be a part of the early week coverage of next week’s season finale CME Group Tour Championship. But, as noted by Golfweek, she could appear on the broadcast on Sunday or in the future for NBC, which has separate contracts with talent. Pressel declined comment when reached by Golfweek.

A two-time LPGA winner and champion of the major Kraft Nabisco Championship at only 18, Pressel became an analyst and on-course reporter in 2021, rising to the lead commentator’s chair when Judy Rankin retired in 2022. Away from broadcasting, Pressel has twice served as a U.S. Solheim Cup assistant captain to Stacy Lewis and figures to one day take the helm. She was in that position this year for the U.S. Junior Solheim Cup in the Netherlands.

Adding extra movements

Erik J. Barzeski is a Golf Digest Best in State Teacher and the co-author of the book Lowest Score Wins. He's a really smart guy about a wide range of things in golf, which is probably why this takeaway tip really clicked for me.

If you suffer from an inside takeaway—like I and so many others do—a common issue is moving your arms too far around your body, pulling your arms behind you, or rotating your wrists too much.

Measure the movements on GEARS, as Barzeski has, and he explains the recipe for a really has just three ingredients:

• Hinge the club up ⬆️
• Turn your thumbs slightly to your right ↗️
• Turn your body 🔄

It doesn't matter what tour Tyrrell is playing on, you're going to see a lot of emotion from the fiery Brit. That was certainly the case on Thursday morning at the DP World Tour Championship as Hatton, now an ex-LIV golfer, missed a three-footer for par on the 14th hole. And, well, didn't take it well:

Rather than go the typical anger route, Hatton went with the whole shocked routine, trying to get his playing partners to acknowledge that he had been robbed. But as the announcer amusingly notes, it seemed like no one else cared. In any event, Hatton would eventually make that bogey putt and shoot two under par. He's currently three behind first-round leader Joost Luiten.

The tributes are pouring in for the longtime NBC Golf play-by-play man, who passed away at the age of 64. One of his longest-running colleagues, Roger Maltbie, called into Golf Channel on Thursday morning, and did as good a job as he could have at keeping it together. "This is a tough one, Rich [Lerner]," Maltbie said. "I mean, really tough." A choked up Maltbie was able to gather himself and add that losing Hicks was not merely losing a colleague or a nice guy, it was like "losing a pal."  

The golf world woke up to sad news on Thursday morning that longtime NBC announcer Dan Hicks—best known for his work covering the PGA Tour and Olympics—had passed away at the age of 64. Tributes poured in from around the sports world, many featuring the same three words:

Expect anything different?

The call of Tiger Woods' putt on the 18th hole of the 2008 U.S. Open to force a playoff vs. Rocco Mediate stands as Hicks' most iconic. Seated alongside longtime broadcast partner Johnny Miller, Hicks summed up the competitive resolve of Woods with a simple query that will echo through golf history for decades to come.

Hicks is survived by his wife, fellow sportscaster Hannah Storm, and their three daughters.
