The Masters is always at the front and center of my mind, and not because I'm the only one thinking about it. Other people associate me with this great event, and that's an honor.
Quote by -Jim Nantz
I used to write letters to Jim McKay in college. 'Wide World of Sports' was this travelogue, really, that introduced us to sports and it introduced us to parts of the world that we had never seen before. And no one was a bigger tour guide than Mr. McKay.
Quote by -Jim Nantz
I think when you have a National Championship Game, a Super Bowl, a Final Four, a World Series, I don't see why there is any reason to pick out one individual as the MVP because it is about a team winning a championship. Maybe that best explains what I believe in at the core in my work as a broadcaster.
Quote by -Jim Nantz
People think I can just walk out and shoot 75 without taking a warm-up shot. But believe me, it's not that easy.
Quote by -Jim Nantz
People think I can really play golf, but it's actually been almost an albatross for me. I really struggle not only to break 80, but sometimes to break 90.
Quote by -Jim Nantz
Every little crazy dream that I had has come true, and more. And I'm always mindful that this is not a birthright, that one day I would have the chance to come to Augusta every year. Just a crazy, really, almost obsession for me.
Quote by -Jim Nantz
I had first-hand experience watching my father's health decline over the stretch of 13 years.
Quote by -Jim Nantz
As my father went through a really, really long and dark period of his health declining and falling deeper into the abyss, I knew I was never going to let my family and my children experience this without any long-term care.
Quote by -Jim Nantz
Someone pointed out that Dick Enberg and Curt Gowdy are the only two ever to call a Super Bowl and a Final Four. So I'll be the third. I get a kick out of putting my name in the same sentence as those other two giants.
Quote by -Jim Nantz
If you want to say that I am vanilla, then I can give you a long list of broadcasting giants who fall into that same category because all of them always had the same goal that is my goal to this day: It is not about me.
Quote by -Jim Nantz
If there is only one event you could work the rest of your life, it would be Augusta.
Quote by -Jim Nantz
I just enjoy seeing people break through those ceilings when people press them down and say, 'He can't do this or that.' It's always fun to document those types of stories when someone breaks through.
Quote by -Jim Nantz
I see so many people in our industry, in my own network, who throw little tantrums about things that they can't control.
Quote by -Jim Nantz
Chemistry's a word that people who make hires and decisions say, 'Hey, you guys go out and work on your chemistry!'
Quote by -Jim Nantz
You know, my father used to look at people and he treated everyone with such respect, and he always believed that he would rather trust you face on and be disappointed perhaps down the road, be disappointed some of the time rather than never to trust someone, never to believe in someone, and alas, be disappointed all the time.
Quote by -Jim Nantz
I'm not an agate type ESPN Sports Center highlight, in-your-face kind of a sports fan.
Quote by -Jim Nantz
I was raised in just about as perfect a home environment as you could ever imagine.
Quote by -Jim Nantz
My father got to see the first 10 years of my career. He implored me to always appreciate people who are not operating under any sort of false pretense or who weren't caught up in their own success.
Quote by -Jim Nantz
I was named first-team Jersey Shore by the Asbury Park Press, the paper I used to deliver as a young boy. I got to Houston and Coach Williams invited me to walk on the golf team. I was the 18th man on an 18-man golf team.

One of Tiger's trademarks in his prime was his ability to fight for every stroke.
Quote by -Jim Nantz
In 2011, my wife, Courtney, and I, with my amazing mother and sister, opened the Nantz National Alzheimer Center at Houston Methodist Hospital.
Quote by -Jim Nantz
When people ask me, 'What are you most proud of,' I say it's that I've had five people close enough to ask me to present them at the World Golf Hall of Fame. There were any number of people they could have used, but they asked me. It really means a lot to me.
Quote by -Jim Nantz
I was just overcome with the idea that one day I wanted to be one of those voices at the Masters and work for CBS and cover the NFL.
Quote by -Jim Nantz
We want the game to be attractive to a new audience, but you have to be careful because there are certain traditions this game upholds. Silence over the swing, that's always been there. That's not understood by those who don't play golf.
Quote by -Jim Nantz
How can we grow the game? It's a conversation in every sport, how do you tap into the millennials? Golf is no different.
Quote by -Jim Nantz
I wanted to work for CBS because I loved the way CBS broadcast the Masters and I loved the way CBS presented the NFL. I loved the voices I heard.
Quote by -Jim Nantz
The Masters runs deep in my heart; it's a love affair that I've had since I was a little boy with that tournament, that club.
Quote by -Jim Nantz
I love Augusta. I get to cover what I consider to be the best golf tournament of the year, and I really would like to think that one day - God willing, CBS willing - I'd be able to say that I worked 50 Masters.
Quote by -Jim Nantz
I try to talk openly from how I feel. People may not agree with it. It may sound foreign to them. That's an uncomfortable position for some people, to be sentimental, nostalgic - it's all kind of the same.
Quote by -Jim Nantz
In 2014, when my wife, Courtney, was expecting our daughter and we were contemplating a name, I said, 'How about Finley?' Only after Courtney said that she loved the name did I reveal that it was inspired by an aspect of Samuel Finley Brown Morse.
