Longtime sports broadcaster Verne Lundquist’s 40th Masters Tournament will be his last.
On the call for some of the greatest moments in Masters history, the tournament has now rewarded him with a video thanking him for his services.
Watch the touching moment below:
Lundquist’s career spans across six decades. After bouncing from networks such as ABC, CBS and TNT from 1974 to 1997, Lundquist returned to CBS in 1998 and remained there for the rest of his career.
He is most known for anchoring CBS Sports’ coverage of college football play-by-play for the SEC on CBS from 2000-16. Lundquist was on the call for many classic SEC and Big Ten games throughout his career.
Lundquist’s final football game was the 2016 Army-Navy game and eventually retired from college basketball broadcasting before the 2018 NCAA Tournament. He continued being the voice of The Masters until now when he will bid farewell on the headset at the event’s conclusion.
