Golden Tee has long been famous for its insightful and entertaining celebrity commentary. LIVE features the most in-depth script in the history of the game, with dynamic technology to ensure comments are even more situational and detailed.

Complete with six television and sports professionals on the commentator cast, LIVE’s announcers address nearly every in-game nuance from an errant shot into a tree to upcoming holidays.
Jim Nantz   JIM NANTZ: Featured as Golden Tee LIVE’s play-by-play announcer, Jim Nantz has covered nearly every major sporting event since he began his career at CBS Television 20 years ago. Notably the lead announcer for the NFL and NCAA, the Houston native is also famous for his play-by-play calls during the network’s major PGA events, including the Masters and PGA Championship.

 
Ptere Jacobsen   PETER JACOBSEN: Known as one of the most respected golfers on the PGA Tour, Jacobsen’s 30 plus years of professional experience have earned him the designation of golf’s unofficial ambassador. From title host to in-game character, Jacobsen has been an integral part of the Golden Tee franchise since he first came aboard in 1995 with Golden Tee 3-D Golf. Featured as Golden Tee LIVE’s lead color analyst, his witty comments and entertaining insights have become a game staple.
 
Chris DiMarco   CHRIS DiMARCO: With 3 PGA Tour victories and a Team USA/Ryder Cup appearance under his belt, DiMarco has become one of the shining stars of professional golf. His showdown with Tiger at the 2005 Masters will long be remembered as one of the greatest head-to-head finishes in golf history. Originally from Huntington, New York, DiMarco now resides with his wife, Amy, and his three children in Orlando, Florida. As one of three Golden Tee LIVE on-course commentators, DiMarco’s expert opinion and analysis can be found throughout the game.
 
Gary Player   GARY PLAYER: Known affectionately as the Black Knight on the professional golfing circuit, South African native Gary Player is considered one of the greatest golfers in the history of the game. His memorable showdowns with Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus will never be forgotten. Since turning pro in 1953, Player has earned over 160 worldwide victories including an astounding nine major championships. The darling of South Africa, Player’s role with Golden Tee is a crucial component of its success considering the popularity of the game in taverns across his native country.

 
Laura Diaz   LAURA DIAZ: One of the LPGA’s most recognizable faces, Laura Diaz joins other on-course commentators, Player and DiMarco, to become the first female announcer in Golden Tee Golf. A graduate of Wake Forest, Diaz was the 1995 Women’s Golf ACC Champion, 2-time All-American Team member and has two LPGA victories to her name. Born in 1975 in Scotia, New York, Diaz now resides in Amelia Island, Florida, with her husband, Kevin.
 
Steven Sobe   STEVEN SOBE: Arguably the greatest Golden Tee player of all time, 3-time National Champion Steven Sobe joins the all-star commentator cast as the game’s first-ever expert analyst. Originally hailing from Cleveland, Ohio, Sobe’s trackball talent was nurtured in Mt. Airy, North Carolina at the legendary Backstreet Pavilion. Now residing in Arlington Heights, Illinois Sobe is employed as Incredible Technologies’ Products and Services Representative.
