Paul Azinger, a 12-time winner on the PGA Tour, will not return as the lead analyst on NBC's golf coverage, multiple outlets reported.

Azinger has been in the booth for NBC's broadcasts since 2019, when Johnny Miller retired. He previously was a lead golf analyst at ABC/ESPN and FOX.

"We want to thank Paul for his work with us over the last five years," NBC said in a statement.
