The golf world is mourning a devastating loss.
Dan Hicks, the longtime NBC Sports broadcaster and a respected fixture in golf coverage for more than 30 years, died on Nov. 11, his wife, Hannah Storm, confirmed. He was 64.
“Our family is heartbroken by the sudden and unexpected passing of Dan following an acute illness,” Storm said in a statement shared on social media Nov. 12. “He was a devoted husband of over 30 years, loving father to our three daughters, and cherished friend to so many. His loss is immeasurable.”
The ESPN anchor remembered her husband of three decades—and the father of their daughters, Hannah, Ellery and Riley—as “one of a kind” and “the person everyone wanted to be around.”
“When he walked into a room, he brought the energy, the laughter and the people together,” Storm wrote. “He was endlessly kind, thoughtful and funny, and he made everyone feel like they mattered.”
As they navigate their grief, Storm and her daughters said they are deeply grateful to everyone who has offered comfort and support.
