My Shot: Jim Nantz Interview [Golf Digest]

[nevets88]

Some Nantz predictions and factoids. I thought being a reporter (kind of a journalist) meant being objective.

Quote

Phil Mickelson will win the 2019 U.S. Open at Pebble Beach. I'm so confident of that, I wish I could transplant that belief into Phil's mind so he also believes it's a foregone conclusion

The Big Three and the rest have enormous influence, but Bryson is the one who has the capacity to utterly change golf. If he were to win the Masters, think of the impact it would have on the equipment industry. 

So who will win the Masters? Let's see. Phil won in 2004. He won two years later, in 2006. Four later, in 2010, he won again. Now it's 2016, six years later. Two ... four ... six. If the Nantz Law of Mathematical Progression follows, 2016 will again be Phil's year.

I don't think he's a reporter or a journalist. I think calling him either would be a slight against actual reporters and journalists.

In 2036, for the 100th playing of the Masters, we'll see Phil Mickelson serve as honorary starter alongside another retired golfer, Tiger Woods. Competing that year will be a 20-year-old sensation who will become the youngest player ever to don the green jacket. In Butler Cabin, as this historic and wonderful Masters concludes, I will say, "Congratulations, Jameson. And good-bye, friends."

He spelled my name wrong, but I guess I'll allow it.

The headline says it all. I'm going to start carrying around a laminated photo of a properly cooked medium-rare steak.

I think it's your kid's name. So you spelled it wrong.

20 years old winning the Masters if he's born tomorrow. I better get going right away!

He does have a nice voice. Most prominent announcers have that quality. What he does with that voice is another story.
