Jim Nantz just can’t help himself, it seems.

Remember during the Masters last month when he made a subtle joke about LIV Golf and the CW

Well, he did it again during Thursday’s first round of the PGA Championship when he took a not-so-subtle shot at LIV Golf and how many CW affiliates ditched the playoff at last week’s event to show other scheduled programing. 

Dustin Johnson won that event in Tulsa, Okla., and right before he teed off on Thursday, Nantz said: “Not sure if you had a chance to see it but he was a winner last week in Tulsa in a playoff over Cam Smith and Branden Grace.” 

Here’s how that playoff played out on TV:

Twitter loved Nantz's joke:
