Colt Knost Roasts Jim Nantz at Hall of Fame Induction

Colt Knost, a former U.S. Amateur champion and now a CBS golf analyst, was honored Monday night with induction into the Texas Golf Hall of Fame. He humorously recounted a moment where he playfully challenged Jim Nantz, a fellow inductee and broadcasting colleague, about his own presence in the Hall.

The Class of 2026 features a distinguished group, including professional golfer Stacy Lewis, PGA professional Dale Morgan, Mark Harrison for professional service, and posthumous lifetime achievement honoree Dave Pelz. Houston's River Oaks Country Club was also recognized as a historic course.

Knost expressed his deep appreciation for the honor, reflecting on his journey from rural Pilot Point, Texas, where golf was not readily accessible. He emphasized his strong connection to Texas, despite living elsewhere, and credited Royal Oaks Country Club for its support.

Transitioning from a playing career to broadcasting, Knost now sits alongside Nantz at major championships. He expressed his surprise at this career path, embracing the media world that has brought him to cover prestigious events like the Masters and PGA Championship.
