(CBS Detroit) — With the Farmers Insurance Open next week, CBS Sports will tee off its 64th consecutive year covering the PGA Tour. Torrey Pines will be the setting for the first of 20 Tour events in 2021. The illustrious list also includes the Masters and PGA Championship, along with the AT&T Pebble Beach, the Memorial Tournament and the Northern Trust.
Jim Nantz will once again anchor the network’s coverage, with lead golf analyst and six-time major winner Nick Faldo lending his expertise. The crew of analysts will also include Tour winners Ian Baker-Finch and Frank Nobilo. LPGA veteran Dottie Pepper, a 17-time winner, returns as the lead on-course reporter.
Sellers Shy takes over as the lead producer, only the third in CBS Sports’ history of golf coverage. “Last year, with all the events we did in a row, Sellers picked up the ball… at Hartford, Detroit, Minnesota and his hometown in Memphis,” says Pepper. “They were great shows, and he rallied the troops. The energy was fantastic. This isn’t anything new for Sellers. He’s produced golf all around the world.”
