GAINESVILLE, Va. – The legendary Judy Rankin is back in the booth at this week’s Solheim Cup. The 79-year-old Rankin, who twice led Team USA to victory in the Solheim Cup, will serve as an analyst alongside Karen Stupples and Terry Gannon for NBC’s coverage. Morgan Pressel, who replaced Rankin in the booth after her retirement, is once again working as an assistant captain for Team USA.
NBC Sports will deliver more than 30 hours of live event and studio coverage across NBC, Golf Channel and Peacock.
Earlier this year, Rankin became the first woman honored with the PGA Lifetime Achievement Award in Journalism. The World Golf Hall of Fame member began her broadcasting career with ABC in 1984 and became Golf Channel’s lead LPGA analyst in 2010. As a tour player, she won 26 times on the LPGA and was a two-time Player of the Year. She also won the Vare Trophy for low scoring average on three different occasions.
