Paige Spiranac has thrown her name in the hat to replace Paul Azinger on NBC Sports following his shock departure from the network.
Azinger’s manager announced on Monday that NBC has chosen not to renew his contract as lead golf analyst, with the two parties set to part ways when his current deal ends.
The 63-year-old spent half a decade with the network after being hired to replace longtime analyst Johnny Miller in 2018, though in recent years his commentary had received criticism.
After news of his departure was made public, Azinger chose not to discuss specifics as to why his contract wasn’t renewed, only to say on Sunday that it was a mixture of disappointment and surprise.
It is currently unclear who will replace him on NBC Sports – but Spiranac says she is up for filling the void.

Amid calls on social media for her to join the network, golf’s glamor girl quoted a post on X announcing Azinger’s departure and wrote: ‘Fine, I’ll step in.’
A fan on the platform then sent Spiranac a message asking if rumors about her joining NBC had any substance.

‘You can’t deny I’d bring two big attributes to the table. My personality and golf knowledge of course’.

The 30-year-old recently went viral on social media for her ‘case study’ on if she plays better while wearing light clothing, like a tank top, or a typical golf ensemble, such as a skirt and collared shirt.
During an interview with Sports Illustrated, Spiranac explained why her background has a say in the way she choses her outfits.

Golf’s glamor girl replied to a fan calling for her to join NBC and declared herself a ‘woman of the people’
‘I was a gymnast before I switched into golf. I was so comfortable wearing spandex and very little of it because that’s just what you wear when you’re wearing a leotard and you’re competing.
‘When I switched into golf, we were struggling a little bit financially and so I didn’t have the luxury to go out and buy a whole new golf-appropriate wardrobe.
‘And so, I wore what was in my closet which was workout clothes. That’s just how I learned to play the game.’
