Here’s the latest on Jim Nantz from reliable outlets:
- Jim Nantz has been active in discussing his Masters coverage and addressing retirement rumors. A notable interview with PGA Tour in early April 2025 covered his thoughts on his 40th Masters, the pressure of the job, and a note that retirement date reports were inaccurate. This suggests he intends to continue calling major events for the near term.[4][5]
- In early 2026, commentary from media analysts noted ongoing conversations about his future with CBS NFL broadcasts, highlighting uncertainty around long-term plans but acknowledging Nantz’s continued presence on high-profile assignments as of that period.[10]
If you’d like, I can pull the most recent headlines from major outlets (CBS Sports, PGA Tour, Sports Illustrated, and Sporting News) and summarize any new developments with dates and contexts.
