Kevin Kisner is working this weekend but not for NBC.
Kisner rebounded from a 3-over 74 on Thursday to post three second-nine birdies and shoot 3-under 68 on Friday to make the cut at the 2025 Valspar Championship. It's his first made cut in four outings this season. The 68 was his second round in the 60s out of nine total rounds so far. He's at even par overall, tied for 40th at the Copperhead Course at Innisbrook in Palm Harbor, Florida.
"You always want to make the weekend for sure, especially when you haven't made one all year, so you got to pop the top there, so I was able to do that, but I like the way my game's trending more than making the cut, so two more days of competition, getting some good reps in and I'm going to play a bunch right after the Masters, so looking forward to more solid play and less talking about it," he said Friday.
The four-time PGA Tour winner was named lead analyst for NBC Sports ahead of the 2025 season but has arrangements with the network where he'll play some events and if he makes the cut, he plays more golf that week but if he misses the cut, he trades the clubs in for a headset to join Dan Hicks in the booth.
This week, however, NBC tapped Gary Koch, who lives in the Tampa area, for analyst duties all week.
"I'm calling next week for NBC and then playing Valero and so then I'm off until the U.S. Open," he said of his next few weeks while confirming he'll be back on TV for the 2025 Texas Children's Houston Open.
"Valero, maybe, if I don't make the cut, I'll call again, but they're so cool, they're like 'we'll figure it out either way,' so it's been awesome partnership so far," Kisner said.
