It doesn't matter what you've accomplished in golf, there are still bucket-list moments involving the game that would excite anyone. Such is the case if you're ever lucky enough to play Cypress Point,
PEBBLE BEACH — Jim Nantz is big on dates, and Tuesday marked the 40th anniversary of his first trip to Pebble Beach Golf Links for CBS Sports. It’s a sure bet that he will have a much larger role this weekend than he did for his first assignment.
Jim Nantz has been married to his wife, Courtney Richards, since 2012. The sportscaster is best known for anchoring CBS’s coverage of the Masters Tournament since 1989 and being the lead play-by-play announcer on NFL coverage for the broadcaster, but in his personal life, he’s a devoted husband to Richards.
Jim Nantz explains phantom flag call
CBS Sports begins its 68th consecutive year broadcasting the PGA Tour this weekend with the Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines, which, in itself, is an “Eye”-popping figure, to borrow some network terminology. For nearly two-thirds of that run, Jim Nantz has been a mainstay in the network’s golf coverage.
Former Masters winner Trevor Immelman shared his experience of playing with CBS announcer Jim Nantz at the Cypress Point Golf Course.
Josh Allen is usually efficient while attempting a quarterback sneak or tush push, as the Gen Z slang quantified it. The Buffalo Bills played bold and went for the sneak twice in the same drive.
Tight end Dalton Kincaid was able to track down the ball but could not haul it in, turning the ball over to the Chiefs who ran out the clock and secured the 32-29 victory. There was a bit of mystery on the play, however, with CBS announcer Jim Nantz saying officials had thrown a flag -- a call that was never explained during the broadcast.
Broadcaster Jim Nantz lucked into calling Tom Brady versus Peyton Manning and Patrick Mahomes versus Josh Allen duels.
Before the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am got going, CBS Golf’s Trevor Immelman and Jim Nantz got a round in at one of the world’s greatest golf courses, Cypress Point. One of Immelman’s best shots of the day was filmed — and narrated — by Nantz.
Tony Romo signed a 10-year deal with CBS in 2020, so he’ll be calling games with Jim Nantz at least through 2030. Who knows what will happen after that. Romo makes a lot of money, so if CBS ends up making a change down the road, it will be a cost-cutting measure more than a decision based on Romo’s ability as an analyst.
NFL fans are convinced that the refs were gong to call something on the Buffalo Bills if Dalton Kincaid had completed a catch.
