CBS Sports travels to the picturesque Monterey Peninsula to cover the AT&T PEBBLE BEACH NATIONAL PRO-AM, contested at the world renowned Pebble Beach Golf Links, Spyglass Hill Golf Club and Monterey Peninsula Country Club in Pebble Beach, Calif. CBS Sports broadcasts the third and final rounds live on Saturday, Feb. 11 (3:00-6:00 PM, ET) and Sunday, Feb. 12 (3:00-6:30 PM, ET). Jim Nantz, now in his 27th year covering golf at CBS, serves as anchor of CBS Sports’ golf coverage.

Ian Baker-Finch mans the 17th; Gary McCord the 16th; and David Feherty and Peter Kostis round out the Network’s golf announce team in Pebble Beach as on-course reporters.
D.A. Points returns to defend last year’s victory and is once again teamed with amateur partner Bill Murray. The 2000 AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am champion Tiger Woods is making his 2012 PGA TOUR debut, his seventh start at the event and first since finishing tied for 12th in 2002.
