The Masters 2026

@Mel Smooth you may be giving a wee bit too much credibility and weight to how some random twitter user chooses to position their online posts

GM's reporting of the same things reads quite differently

I feel this is being a touch blown out of proportion because of the current circumstances

As a “host and commentator” does he really need to watch all the tours , I suspect he prob doesn’t watch all the PGAT events or ET events and certainly won’t be watching the events in the Far east or any of the Am’s

It’s such a non event blown up mainly because of who it is and the tour he is on

It’s not a non-event… your anti-LIV showing through brightly!

I don’t expect him to know 100% of everything that goes on on the respective tours but he certainly should know what the likes of BDC & Rahm are doing. He should be professional enough to recognise that, and realise he owes it to those that tune in to watch.

I must admit, I’d be surprised if Nantz doesn’t know his job, and surprised if he believes what’s in that Tweet. Maybe it’s a spoof account. Disappointed you’re supporting it though.

He said he hasn’t seen them hit any shots - that’s all

“
Nantz continued: “I have to confess, I have not seen Bryson hit a single shot this year. I have not seen him, so for me to say what his form looks like, all I can go off is the YouTube videos I’ve watched with my son.


"That’s all I’ve seen. Busy doing our own coverage, so I haven’t seen him play. But I know his desire to win there. I know Bryson quite well through the years, and it wouldn't surprise me at all to see him in a Green Jacket one day.”

It’s being blown very much out of proportion

He is a host at the end of the day , not a journalist etc - it’s not his job to be watching them all


He prob didn’t watch any LIV last year as well and it made no difference to him hosting the event

In your opinion…

It reads that the lead host of The Masters tv coverage hasn’t bothered to take the time to see how one of the fancied players is swinging, which lead to my question of whether that was the expected professionalism of that person

Yeah maybe that’s what you reckon it says if you read between the lines… but if you really read between the lines it also says Masters host rams Tiger off Florida road, flipping his car

No, that’s actually what it says. There’s no reading between the lines needed in this topic Slab

 

[Arthur Wedge]

Well you said “hasn’t bothered”

Is that not reading between the lines when he says that he has been busy watching the golf that the company he works broadcasts

There are still 3 weeks to go until the Masters and time for him to prep

I grant you all the letters are there to spell out " the lead host of The Masters tv coverage hasn’t bothered to take the time to see how one of the fancied players is swinging"

But I'm afraid they're not there in that order

Two things.

On point 1 - I’m still correct.

When you sit down to watch the Masters in 3 weeks, it might look more like the RBC Heritage.

Why would it look more like the Heritage

 

[D-S]

Perhaps Augusta have built a lighthouse behind the 18th green?

Interesting choice

That’s literally how I read this in my head as well before I even saw that last line

Blimey it’s crept up - for some reason I had 20th April

So did Jim Nantz, that's why he hadn't gotten round to watching LiV golf highlights...

 

[Pin-seeker]

Does @Mel Smooth have a stalker?

I’m sure it’s somehow different tho

 

[Captainron]

See that Augusta have created a new Players Services Building behind the practice range.

Basically a magnificently appointed clubhouse with everything they could possibly need.

Looks blooming awesome

What's the chances the TV cameras will get in there when its chock full of players, like they do at The Open
