OUTSTANDING chirp from Jim Nantz about LIV Golf's Brooks Koepka at The Masters!
Jim Nantz appeared to crack a joke about LIV Golf as Brooks Koepka played the third round of the 2023 Masters.
When you think of The Masters, it's likely your mind will invariably be drawn to the syrupy tones of Jim Nantz.
The legendary caller is synonymous with the tradition unlike any other. I mean, he even came up with that line and the club slapped it on merch.
This is the 63-year-old's 38th straight year of announcing the action for CBS.

During this period, there have been dozens of incredible calls that will live long in the memory of each and every golf fan.
At the 2023 Masters, there was a lot of chatter about how the LIV players would get on.
Brooks Koepka found himself as the 54-hole leader, two strokes clear of PGA Tour loyalist Jon Rahm.
Of course, there were the obvious jokes about Koepka prematurely going to collect his green jacket.
LIV play 54-hole events in case you didn't know.
As for Nantz, he made this subtle - but hilarious - joke about LIV during the final day broadcast as Koepka completed his third round.
Koepka was walking up No. 15 when Nantz quipped: "And there he is! Right on The CW...the crosswalk."

Amazing! How long has he been waiting to say that?!
LIV Golf announced earlier in the year it had agreed a deal with the CW, representing their first U.S. TV deal.
Attorneys for LIV wrote in court documents that several other deals reportedly fell through and even described the CW as 'secondary'.
