thebrassie.comI don’t have live access to current broadcasts, but I can share what’s known about Jim Nantz’s golf assignments and why he might not be in the booth today based on recent patterns.
Short answer
- If Jim Nantz is not broadcasting golf today, it’s likely due to his scheduling priorities, as he splits duties among Masters coverage, NFL games, and occasional alternate assignments. He often focuses on The Masters and NFL duties, with golf broadcasts assigned to other CBS announcers when he’s tied up with football commitments or other projects.
Context and likely reasons
- Nantz has historically balanced multiple CBS properties (Masters golf, NFL, and other events). When a heavy football slate is ongoing or there are conflicts around major golf events, CBS substitutes other play-by-play voices for golf duties. This pattern has appeared in prior years during major calendar evenings or weekends with competing commitments.[2][3]
- In recent years, CBS has rotated several announcers (and occasionally used Ian Eagle or others) to maintain full golf coverage when Nantz is occupied with football or special assignments.[1][3]
What you can check quickly
- Check CBS Sports’ golf schedule or the Masters telecast lineup for today to see who is assigned to the golf broadcast. CBS typically lists on-air talent for each event day, including who’s in the booth for Masters rounds or other PGA Tour events.[5][7]
- Look for official CBS or Masters press releases or social posts from CBS Sports about today’s broadcast team. They often publish the exact announcer lineup for each telecast day.[5]
Illustrative note
- If you’re following a specific event (e.g., The Masters, a PGA Tour stop) and Nantz is not in the booth today, the coverage is likely led by a different CBS play-by-play voice with a guest analyst or by a rotational team, explaining the absence you’re noticing.[3][1]
If you want, tell me which specific golf event or date you’re asking about (e.g., Masters day/date), and I can tailor guidance on who is typically in the CBS booth for that day and where to find the official lineup. I’ll also search for the current broadcast team details for you.
