PEBBLE BEACH — Jim Nantz is big on dates, and Tuesday marked the 40th anniversary of his first trip to Pebble Beach Golf Links for CBS Sports. It’s a sure bet that he will have a much larger role this weekend than he did for his first assignment.
Jim Nantz has been married to his wife, Courtney Richards, since 2012. The sportscaster is best known for anchoring CBS’s coverage of the Masters Tournament since 1989 and being the lead play-by-play announcer on NFL coverage for the broadcaster, but in his personal life, he’s a devoted husband to Richards.
Jim Nantz explains phantom flag call
CBS Sports begins its 68th consecutive year broadcasting the PGA Tour this weekend with the Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines, which, in itself, is an “Eye”-popping figure, to borrow some network terminology.

Former Masters winner Trevor Immelman shared his experience of playing with CBS announcer Jim Nantz at the Cypress Point Golf Course.
Tony Romo and Jim Nantz were on the call for the AFC Championship Game between the Kansas City Chiefs and Buffalo Bills

Broadcaster Jim Nantz lucked into calling Tom Brady versus Peyton Manning and Patrick Mahomes versus Josh Allen duels.
“There is a flag,” CBS play-by-play standby Jim Nantz announced to the masses watching at home. Kevin Harlan, calling the game for Westwood One Radio, echoed the call. Except, no penalty had been called. The play would count. The Kansas City Chiefs were one clock-killing drive away from a third straight Super Bowl.
