There have been plenty of star golfers who have taken the links at Augusta National, but the real face of the Masters might be the voice of golf’s most prestigious event.
That would be Jim Nantz. The veteran broadcaster has been the host of the Masters for 37 consecutive years, including the 2024 edition, and he’s spent 39 total years covering the event.
It has been a rare year for sports fans, who have had to wait since the 2024 Super Bowl to hear Nantz on a national sporting event. In years past, he’s been one of the voices of March Madness. The 2024 tournament marked the first time he hasn’t been on the call for any of the games.
But rest assured sports fans, Nantz isn’t retiring from broadcasting. He’ll be back at Augusta National for 2024, then returning to the NFL when that season begins.
Who will Nantz be calling the Masters with? Here’s what you need to know.
