When CBS Sports kicks off its 66th consecutive year televising the PGA Tour next week, Jim Nantz will do so in a most unusual way.
Nantz, 63, will be in his 38th season at CBS and at the helm of The Eye’s golf coverage with a new sidekick as Trevor Immelman takes over for Nick Faldo beside him in the 18th-hole tower. But for their debut at the Farmers Insurance Open, they will start out as if in a long-distance relationship, with Immelman on site in San Diego and Nantz at a still-to-be-determined location depending on how things play out this weekend in the AFC Divisional Round of the NFL playoffs.
