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. 12 (3:00-6:00 PM, ET) and Sunday, Feb. 13 (3:00-6:30 PM, ET). Jim Nantz, now in his 26th year covering golf at CBS, serves as anchor of CBS Sports' golf coverage. Sir Nick Faldo, winner of six majors and more than 40 tournaments worldwide, serves as lead analyst alongside Nantz in the 18th tower. 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.
World Golf No. 14-ranked Dustin Johnson looks to defend his 2009 and 2010 titles against a field highlighted by former champions including World Golf No. 4-ranked and three-time champion Phil Mickelson (1998, 2005, 2007), two-time champion Davis Love III (2001, 2003) and 2004 champion Vijay Singh.
