OtherBY JEFF DAY “ ello, friends.” It’s the trademark salutation of CBS Sports announcer Jim Nantz, and it comes from seemingly everywhere: The Masters, the PGA Championship, the Super Bowl, the NCAA Men’s Final Four. It has been with us seemingly forever. Nantz, who spent much of Hhis childhood in New Jersey, dreaming of a job with CBS, started with the network back in 1985. He has been the sports fan’s good friend for almost three decades—and a good friend to golf all the while. Nantz now lives in California but spent most of his career in Con- necticut. He is a three-time Emmy Award winner and five-time National Sportscaster of the Year, as well as one of only three people to receive media honors from both the Pro Football Hall of Fame and the Basketball Hall of Fame. In addition to hard work and good fortune, Nantz credits golf for teeing up his drive to professional success.
