Recently, Richard Deitsch of Sports Illustrated performed an interesting exercise. He picked his fantasy announcing crews for a slate of NFL games. Deitsch didn’t give any weight to the announcers’ networks; for example, he paired ESPN anchors with CBS analysts and NBC sideline reporters. He simply chose the announcers whose work he most enjoyed.
It was a fun read and it got me to thinking: Which announcers would I put on my fantasy golf crew? If I could cherry-pick my favorite announcers from CBS, NBC, Golf Channel, ESPN and Fox and create an all-star crew of announcers to broadcast a major championship, what would it look like?
