Legendary CBS broadcaster Verne Lundquist, known for his iconic voice and long career in sports broadcasting, will retire from calling the Masters after 40 years. Lundquist's legacy is most intertwined with golf, particularly his time at Augusta National, where he brought to life the poetic scenes of heartbreak, redemption, and glory on the greens. Although he is retiring, Lundquist's commentary will continue to be remembered and celebrated in the world of sports.
Legendary CBS broadcaster Verne Lundquist , who has been on the call from Augusta National since 1983, will end his magical run in this year’s Masters with throngs of fans ready to salute his impending retirement with a resounding, “Yes, sir.”
The 83-year-old Lundquist called a versatile slate of sports games in his long and esteemed career, but his legacy—and his voice—is most intertwined in the fabric of golf. So many of his memorable days were spent at Augusta, where he helped narrate and bring to life the poetic scenes of heartbreak, redemption and glory that he witnessed on the greens.
“His calls are truly legendary,” said Jim Nantz, Lundquist’s CBS partner. “Augusta is a place that comes to life every April, and it’s not just because it’s a gathering of the greatest players in the world. There’s a golf competition, but it’s a week of history and voices. They come back. We hear them again.”The Auburn Tigers need to watch out for these two Yale stars
