LIV Golf<\/a> fans across social media.<\/p>\n“I think if you had to pick one guy, [Scottie Scheffler] would be the guy, and probably right behind him would be Bryson. Just given his recent track record,” Nantz began.<\/p>\n
“I have to confess, I have not seen Bryson hit a single shot this year. I have not seen him, so for me to say what his form looks like, all I can go off is the YouTube videos I\u2019ve watched with my son.<\/p>\n
“That\u2019s all I\u2019ve seen. Busy doing our own coverage, so I haven\u2019t seen him play. But I know his desire to win there. I know Bryson quite well through the years, and it wouldn’t surprise me at all to see him in a Green Jacket one day.”<\/p>\n
Nantz is the lead golf analyst for CBS and is paid to talk about and closely cover the PGA Tour, not pay attention to what is happening with LIV Golf, but those facts didn’t stop some fans for going after him.<\/p>\n
It’s worth noting that Nantz made these comments on March 30, a full 10 days before the first round of the 2026 Masters will begin. He has plenty of time to catch up on LIV Golf highlights, and he’ll certainly be made aware that DeChambeau has already won two LIV events in 2026.<\/p>\n
Nantz immediately circling DeChambeau’s name as a guy he thinks may win this year’s Masters despite having not seen him hit a singular shot this year is a serious vote of confidence, but it’s clear not everyone took it that way.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It’s not often folks come after Nantz.
