'75 Masters To Get The "Nantz Remembers" Treatment
/They could also cue up the tape from '86 on the 25th anniversary and I wouldn't mind, though it's not quite the same as watching the entire telecast.
CBS SPORTS SPECTACULAR FEATURES “JIM NANTZ REMEMBERS AUGUSTA: THE 1975 MASTERS®” ON SUNDAY, APRIL 10
CBS Sports will broadcast a CBS SPORTS SPECTACULAR special JIM NANTZ REMEMBERS AUGUSTA: THE 1975 MASTERS® on Sunday, April 10 (1:00-2:00 PM, ET) on the CBS Television Network. Jim Nantz, this year covering his 26th Masters for CBS Sports, and 24th as host, revisits one of the most memorable showdowns in golf history – the 1975 Masters – when Jack Nicklaus fended off Tom Weiskopf and Johnny Miller through the final holes to win the coveted green jacket. Nicklaus sank a 40-foot birdie putt on the 16th hole that proved to be the difference in his record fifth Masters victory.
“Back in 1975 people didn’t have TiVo or DVRs to be able to record events if they missed them on television,” said Nantz. “This is a rare mulligan for people to look back and experience this historic tournament. It is a privilege to bring back the 1975 Masters, considered by many golf purists to have been the most dramatic final round in the history of this storied event.”
This one-hour special includes a conversation with six-time Masters champion Nicklaus, as well as Weiskopf and Miller, as each relives that classic Sunday afternoon in April 1975.
