Jim Nantz appeared to take another subtle shot at LIV Golf as Dustin Johnson teed off at the PGA Championship
Just a month ago, CBS’s Jim Nantz appeared to take a little jab at Brooks Koepka playing for LIV Golf and the fact that the Saud-backed league airs on the CW. That was during the Masters and golf fans loved it.
Fast-forward to Thursday’s opening round of the 2023 PGA Championship at Oak Hill. Dustin Johnson — also a LIV golfer — stepped to the tee (just a day after his very suggestive back injury explanation) … and Nantz had this to say: “Not sure if you had a chance to see it, but he was the winner last week in Tulsa.”
Why would that be a shot at LIV? Well, that would be because the CW cut away from Sunday’s LIV Golf playoff to show reruns or infomercials. Yikes!

So, yeah. Sounds like a shot at LIV to me!
