CBS Sports play-by-play man Jim Nantz made it clear who he thinks is the favorite to win the PGA Championship at Bethpage Black in Farmingdale, N.Y., next week: defending champion Brooks Koepka.

In a conference call with reporters on Wednesday afternoon, the voice of golf for CBS was asked by the media for his thoughts on a number of players heading into the second major tournament of the season. That list included the likes of Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson, Jordan Spieth, and Rory McIlroy.

After giving his take on the four-time major champion McIlroy, Nantz voluntarily pivoted to the three-time major champion Koepka. And he let it be known to his fellow media members how he felt about the coverage and recognition of the 29-year-old Koepka.

“Poor Brooks Koepka. If I don’t bring up his name right now, you guys are never gonna bring him up,” Nantz said. “It’s borderline tragic in terms of how you cover a player or subject. He’s having the best run in golf since Tiger in 2000 and 2001. We’re gonna create the story there and it’s just not interesting enough to us to be able to give the guy the time. Forget how much time he exerts and gives to those of us who cover him. I’m not concerned with that. I’m just talking about facts.”

Nantz, who has been calling golf for CBS since 1985, then rattled off a number of stats to make the case for Koepka’s dominance in the sport.

“In the last 13 major championships that he’s played in, he’s got 11 top-13 finishes,” Nantz explained. “That means he’s been in contention 11 out of 13 majors. That breaks down to eight top-10s, seven top-6s, six top-5s, four top-4s, and three wins and a second. We all know he’s won three of the last seven he’s played in. We haven’t seen anybody that dominant in the game since Tiger in 2000 and 2001.”
