The 2023 Ryder Cup at the Marco Simone Golf and Country Club was Azinger's last coverage for the NBC. Eubanks spoke to Azinger about the resignation and later relayed what the latter told him:

"I have treasured working beside Dan Hicks and the other talented NBC broadcasters as well as lead producer Tommy Roy and all those behind the scenes. They are a remarkable team, and I will miss them tremendously."

The decision has come in light of NBC overhauling their media coverage strategy for 2024. Paige Spiranac might just be an option for them, especially after she expressed her interest in the position.

Azinger himself is a retired pro golfer, who won 17 times on the PGA Tour, and even captained the US Ryder Cup team to victory in 2008. Azinger's replacement has not been confirmed so far.
