Peter Oosterhuis retiring from CBS

[nevets88]

Quote: After a 20-year career as a golf analyst for CBS Sports and Golf Channel, Peter Oosterhuis has announced his retirement from broadcasting. “Golf has been a big part of my life ever since I was a little boy growing up in England and I thank CBS and Golf Channel for allowing me to continue in the sport after my playing days were over,” said Oosterhuis. “I feel it is the right time to step away to focus on things in life that I have always wanted to do.” http://www.pgatour.com/news/2015/01/23/Oosterhuis-to-retire-after-20-year-career-as-TV-analyst.html

Weird that he's retiring just as the season is getting started.

He was the Director of Golf at Forsgate CC not far from me for a long time before he became a full time broadcaster. Maybe he had time to think over the holidays and realized it was time to slow down. What a great player, multiple Ryder Cups, tour wins.  Love his analysis.

People who can, know when it's their time retire. Oosterhuis has been one of the better golf commentators over the years. One of my favorites anyways. Best wishes to him, and his new journey.

I believe Verne Lundquist is retiring, too, if I heard correctly. That'd be two big losses for CBS this year.
