On Wednesday, Verne Lundquist announced that the 2024 Masters will be the last time he calls the event.
Lundquist has had some legendary calls at the Masters and his iconic voice is recognized by many generations. The 83-year-old retired from broadcasting football games back in 2016 but continued with the Masters through what will be his 40th time this year.
Yes Sir!

The Masters won’t be the same without Verne, so we should all enjoy one last week with him April 10-13.
