Philadelphia sports fans know him as "Big Dom" — the towering figure in the Eagles front office who's been a constant presence for nearly three decades. But this week, Dom DiSandro traded the sideline for the fairway, lending his unmistakable voice to ESPN's opening video for the 2026 PGA Championship.

The surprise came Thursday as the PGA Championship got underway at historic Aronimink Golf Club in Newtown Square, Pennsylvania — just over 20 miles from the Liberty Bell. It's the first time in 64 years the tournament has returned to this storied course, and ESPN wanted to capture the moment with a distinctly Philadelphia flavor.

The atmospheric intro video showcased iconic city landmarks — the Liberty Bell, a Benjamin Franklin statue, and other Philly staples — while DiSandro's deep, resonant voice set the tone. "We the people are united by love of country, city, and this week, the PGA Championship," he said, bridging the gap between football grit and golf's quiet intensity.

It's a fitting choice. DiSandro has been a pillar of Philadelphia sports since joining the Eagles in 1999, now entering his 28th season as senior advisor to the general manager and chief security officer. Born and raised in the region, he embodies the blue-collar pride that defines both the city and its sports culture.

With Gary Player having claimed the last men's major at Aronimink back in 1962, this weekend's field of world-class golfers has some serious history to live up to. And while DiSandro won't be chasing birdies, his voice — known to Eagles fans everywhere — is helping kick off a tournament that feels as Philly as a cheesesteak.
