Masters fans thought a 'CW' comment by Jim Nantz was a subtle jab at Brooks Koepka and LIV Golf
Jim Nantz has been anchoring the Masters coverage for CBS since 1989. He certainly has a solid command of his vocabulary and descriptions of the game.
He’s also, very obviously, aware of the startup LIV Golf league funded by the Saudi government. It appears he’s equally aware of the struggles LIV has found in trying to secure a television broadcast deal — let alone draw in viewers.
Masters Leaderboard: Live leaderboard, Schedule, Tee times
LIV Golf is currently airing tournaments on The CW. So when LIV star and Masters leader Brooks Koepka landed one of his shots on the crosswalk at August National on Sunday, Nantz wasn’t able to help but give a seemingly very silly wink towards the whole saga.
“And there he his, right on the CW…….the crosswalk”
