Eagles security chief Dom DiSandro voices ESPN's intro for PGA Championship at Aronimink
ESPN called on one of Philly's favorite sons to hype up the PGA Tour's long-awaited return to the historic Philadelphia area course
If Dom DiSandro didn’t already wear enough hats, he added another on Thursday morning.
The Eagles’ unmistakable chief security officer/special adviser to GM Howie Roseman/head of game day coaching operations, among other things, took a brief break from his roles at the Jefferson Health Training Complex to voice the open for ESPN’s coverage of the PGA Championship at Aronimink Golf Club, which began on Thursday.
The honor is just the latest celebrity turn for the proud Philly native and Northeast High School alumnus. In recent years, “Big Dom” working the sidelines of Eagles games has become a fixture of NFL broadcasts, with his popularity skyrocketing since his 2023 confrontation with former San Francisco 49ers linebacker Dre Greenlaw, which resulted in a $100,000 fine for the Eagles and a sideline ban for DiSandro. His fame later earned him a cameo with the Savannah Bananas and a shoutout from President Donald Trump when the Eagles visited the White House in 2025. DiSandro was even first to speak from the White House lawn on the Super Bowl LIX champions’ visit.

So who better than Big Dom, who will be entering his 28th year with the Eagles, to set up the Philadelphia area’s first men’s golf major in 13 years?
“How much is Philly figured in the history of America, and golf, I am at liberty to say, and that says everything,” DiSandro says in the open. “My town has seen it all, huge moments made possible by men determined to set a new course, or tame an old one. Philly demands respect for all it stands for and everything it’s seen. Inside stately buildings and on tricky fairways and greens, here where independence was declared, ‘We The People’ are united by love of country, city, and this week, the PGA Championship.”
While Big Dom and golf might seem like an odd pairing on the surface, that intro has us ready to run through a wall.
