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”

Golf fans loved Nantz's comment
Jim Nantz dropping a little CW reference on Koepka as his ball ended up in the cross walk.

Hey everyone, Jim Nantz was just advertising a network that CBS has a 12.5% stake in. In no way was that a LIV/CW joke. Just being a good company man.

Jim Nantz, getting frisky on Sunday morning.

What a world we live in with Jim Nantz throwing shade at Brooks Koepka.
“There he is right there on the CW … the crosswalk.” 😂😂

Jim Nantz just said Brooks is on the CW, referring to the crosswalk. But that has to be a subtle dig about Brooks appearing on the CW network, right?
If so, that’s a fantastic zinger.
