Johnny Miller

Many people know Johnny Miller as a professional golfer back in the day. Johnny was one of the top players in the world during the mid-1970s. He was the first to shoot 63 in a major championship to win the 1973 US Open, and he ranked second in the world on Mark McCormack's world golf rankings in both 1974 and 1975 behind Jack Nicklaus. Miller won 25 PGA Tour events, including two majors. He was inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame in 1998. Although Miller was a great golfer, he is still one of the best golf analysts of all time. He is currently the lead golf analyst for NBC Sports, a position he has held since January 1990. Johnny Miller is famous for calling the play by play for the US Open every year. Unfortunately no one will be hearing Miller's voice or anyone's voice from NBC during the US Open, due to FOX sports taking over the US Open starting this year. We may not be hearing Johnny Miller's voice for the US Open, but his broadcasting career is surely not over. NBC will still cover the Ryder Cup and the Players Championship. Many fans will miss hearing Miller talk about his 63 in the 1973 US Open, but we will still hear Miller criticize fashion choices and question USGA pin placements. http://ftw.usatoday.com/2014/06/johnny-miller-nbc-goodbye-us-open Many people have mixed feelings about Miller. Usually every article about Miller starts off with "love him or hate him". Johnny Miller loves to point out the weaknesses of golfers. When a player makes a mistake on Sunday, Miller is quick to say "That's nerves". Sometimes it may be nerves and sometimes it might of just been a poor golf shot. Johnny Miller is the only guy to be able to criticize a golfer and get away with it because hes Johnny Miller and no one is going to tell him different. The players should have been thanking Johnny all along—he was helping them by illuminating to the viewer the exquisite torture of tournament golf. Johnny wasn’t a critic, he was a serial empathizer. http://www.golf.com/tour-and-news/johnny-miller-case-him-golfs-best-announcer. All in all Johnny Miller is the perfect analyst for the game of golf.
