Don’t ask Jim Nantz, the voice of the Masters, to give you too much insight into Bryson DeChambeau’s current golf game. …

On Monday’s CBS Sports 2026 Masters preview press call, the longtime golf announcer was asked to talk about which golfers might be considered contenders for the tournament this year, admitting in the process that he’s only watched DeChambeau on YouTube.

“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,” said Nantz. “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’ve watched with my son. That’s all I’ve seen. Busy doing our own coverage, so I haven’t 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.”

The comment drew strong rebukes from LIV fans, who see it as proof that the “mainstream media” is overlooking the tour.
