Johnny Miller is retiring after three decades of calling the shots the way he sees them. Miller said his 24th grandchild was born on Sunday and he wants to spend more time with his family. It was Miller who first talked about “choking,” a word that had been taboo in golf broadcasting. Miller won the Phoenix Open by 14 shots, and the following week he went to Tucson and won by nine shots. Miller made his debut with NBC at the 1990 Bob Hope Classic and wanted to quit after the first show because he was uncomfortable.
