Verne Lundquist's best broadcast calls at the Masters

Legendary sports broadcaster Verne Lundquist will be retiring from calling this year’s Masters tournament, and he’s had one of the best runs of any broadcaster ever in Augusta.

As we celebrate “Uncle Verne” as he steps away from one of the major sporting events that he’s become synonymous with, let’s look back on some of his best moments as a golf broadcaster.

Unsurprisingly, two of the best calls of Lundquist’s storied career took place at Augusta, but that’s what happens when you pair an iconic voice with the likes of Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods.

While there are plenty more to look back on over the years of his excellent broadcasting career, we feel like these moments give you a great glimpse into just how good he is at his job.
