Damon Hack reflects on his 16 years as a sportswriter and how those experiences informed his work in the past decade as a TV journalist at the Golf Channel. Learn protocol lessons taught by the San Francisco 49ers of Steve Young, Jerry Rice and Chris Doleman. Damon takes us to a Super Bowl party with Peyton and Eli Manning, into Adrian Peterson’s home, overseas for the Olympics, and into the mascot costume of Ricky the River Rat. Damon also discusses being a Black reporter covering the predominantly white world of golf for 20 years, and how Tiger Woods has impacted the sport’s diversity. And he shares his favorite Tiger moment, as well as his own score the first time he played golf.
Hack has spent the past decade at the Golf Channel, where he’s co-host of “Golf Today.” He also works as an on-site reporter for the network’s live tournament coverage and for Golf Central at select PGA Tour tournaments. And he contributes to Golf Channel digital as a writer. Besides his responsibilities with NBC Sports Group’s Golf Channel, he covered biathlon events at the 2018 Winter Olympics in PyeongChang, South Korea for NBC.
Damon joined the Golf Channel and NBC Sports Group in 2012 after covering the PGA Tour and the NFL for five years as a senior writer at Sports Illustrated. Prior to SI, he covered golf and pro football as a New York Times staff writer from 2002-07, and he covered golf and the New York Knicks as a beat reporter for Newsday (2000-02).

He was born in Los Angeles, earned a bachelor’s degree in history from UCLA and a master’s degree in journalism from UC Berkeley. Damon and his wife, Suzanna Yip, have triplet sons.
