Jim Nantz was told by the late Ken Venturi after Jack Nicklaus’ 1986 Masters win that he would never see a day like that around Augusta National again. Nantz’s 34th Masters ended up being just as dramatic with Tiger Woods’ first victory in a major in nearly 11 years and his first green jacket since 2005. Nicklaus’ win was Nantz’s first year with CBS as he was calling the action on the 16th hole. CBS was a huge beneficiary of Woods’ win. Barrow said CBS Executive Producer Harold Bryant mentioned that it would be great if they could get Woods again.
