After retiring from the PGA TOUR, Miller chose not to compete on the Champions Tour on a regular basis, and instead became a golf broadcaster for NBC Sports. As a commentator he became known for his straightforward and sometimes blunt remarks, which sometimes earned him the enmity of the player being commented upon. He is regarded by television executives as the one golf commentator who can actually draw people to watch a broadcast.
