Legendary sports announcer Verne lundquist bid farewell to his illustrious broadcasting career with the 2024 Masters Tournament, marking his 40th and final call at the prestigious event. The 83-year-old, who had retired from all sports except golf in recent years, chose this weekend’s Masters as the perfect moment to hang up his mic for good.

Lundquist’s retirement announcement stirred nostalgia among fans, reminding them of his iconic calls over the years. One of his most memorable moments occurred during the 2005 Masters when Tiger Woods delivered a breathtaking chip-in birdie on the 16th hole, securing a two-stroke lead over Chris DiMarco. Lundquist’s electrifying commentary captured the tension and drama of the moment as Woods’ ball hovered on the edge of the hole before finally dropping in. “Oh, wow! In your life have you ever seen anything like that?!” exclaimed Lundquist, etching his voice into golfing history.

The bond between Lundquist and Woods was further solidified by the golfer’s remarkable Masters victories, with the 2005 triumph standing out as a testament to their shared legacy. Woods, acknowledging the significance of the moment, made a special visit to Lundquist stationed at the 16th hole, where the broadcaster had become synonymous with Masters coverage.

“A man with magic in his hands, looked on by a man with magic in his voice. Those two, over the last 25 years, the definition of the Masters,” remarked broadcaster Shane Bacon, encapsulating the essence of their enduring partnership.

In a heartwarming gesture, Woods extended his hand to Lundquist, resulting in a humorous photo where a tree nearly obscured the veteran announcer. This touching moment encapsulated the mutual respect and admiration between the two legends of the sport, leaving an indelible mark on the history of the Masters Tournament.
