This may be a little out of the box but I think Smylie Kaufman would be great in the booth. He seams to have a great personality, he certainly has knowledge of the game, a good voice, a sence of humor and good timing and delievery skills. He needs some more experience that he is getting now. He seams to have the ability to connect with people.

Jim Nantz's replacement should be me. An avid average golfer with naive insight who can articulate questions and observations ... great change.

Celebrating his 40th Masters, Jim Nantz has a long way to go before saying goodbye. In my opinion, he’s the best ever and there is no one out there who can replace him, so let’s enjoy the rest of great career.
Steve Moore

How about Tony Romo? I'd love that.
Murray Miles
Fort Worth, Texas

I vote for Grant Boone.
Will Brewer
Franklin, Tennessee

Scott Van Pelt. He is a golf enthusiast who won't be the story, just tells the story.
Mark Kazich

This may seem like an odd choice, but I think Grant Hill would be an honorable replacement if given some golf training and experience ahead of time. He does a great job with basketball and is in the same mold as Nantz, in terms of character and likability.

Smylie Kaufman is my choice by a landslide.
