Jim Nantz Says He Hasn't Seen Bryson DeChambeau Hit a Shot This Year

The disclosure raised questions about how major-network voices track LIV Golf standouts.

Overview

  • Nantz, who spoke on a CBS Masters preview call Monday, said he has not watched DeChambeau this season and has only seen YouTube clips with his son.
  • The remark drew quick online criticism, with fans and outlets saying it undercut his preparation for Augusta and showed a blind spot toward LIV Golf.
  • DeChambeau is a leading contender for the Masters as the third betting favorite behind Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy.
  • He arrives in strong form with six top-10 finishes in his last eight majors and back-to-back LIV wins heading into the tournament, which starts April 9.
  • Some reports noted he may have been joking, yet the line spread widely and fueled a larger debate about how traditional media follow non-PGA Tour events.
