Morgan Pressel is out as Golf Channel’s lead analyst for its LPGA coverage.

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.
