Jim Nantz announces date he will retire from Masters broadcast
Legendary CBS Sports host Jim Nantz has opened up on his plan to retire as lead broadcaster at the Masters – albeit in over a decade’s time.
Nantz, who has called golf’s first major championship of the year since 1989, revealed the exit strategy he has put together in an interview with Bunkered.
‘If all the stars aligned, right now, it feels like a pretty good exit point: April 14, 2036,’ he said.
‘That is my scheduled retirement date. It would be a perfect place to walk out.’
Nantz will be 76 by the time the 2036 Masters comes around, and it will also mark the 100th anniversary of the illustrious competition.
Should he continue to work as lead broadcaster for the next 11 years, that tournament will also be the veteran anchor’s 47th Masters.
Back in 2023, Nantz retired from working on college basketball’s Final Four in order to focus on his family and other broadcasting commitments.
As well as the Masters, he also covers the PGA Championship and PGA Tour.
The Masters is currently operating on a year-to-year deal with CBS, meaning it is not clear what will happen after 2036.
But Nantz added: ‘I know what’s going to happen. I’m going to get to that year, and I’m going to say, “You know, maybe I could do this for a while longer.”
‘We have broadcasters over here that have gone on well into their 80s, so that’s one of those “wait and sees”, I guess.’

Djokovic learns fate in new home as Sabalenka addresses behaviour
Express Sport brings you the latest tennis news from the Paris Masters.
We’re reaching the business end of the Paris Masters, as eight players become four in the French capital. Jannik Sinner is the overwhelming favourite to lift the trophy after Carlos Alcaraz was dumped out by Cameron Norrie in the Spaniard’s opening match. Norrie was then beaten by Valentin Vacherot, whose amazing 10-match winning streak at Masters 1000 level came to an end when he lost to Felix Auger-Aliassime.
Canadian star Auger-Aliassime will face Alexander Bublik in the semis. Bublik defeated Alex de Minaur, who is among those to have already qualified for the year-end ATP Finals. Sinner is through to his first Paris Masters semi-final after beating Ben Shelton. He’ll face defending champion Alexander Zverev, who survived a tough match against Daniil Medvedev.
Novak Djokovic is not involved in the Paris Masters, having decided to skip the event for the second year in a row, but he has learned his fate in the draw of next week’s ATP 250 in Athens. And over in Riyadh, the WTA Finals are about to get underway.
