Ian Baker-Finch is retiring after a three-decade career as a golf commentator following his professional playing days.

The announcement was made Tuesday in a statement posted on CBS Sports' X account. Baker-Finch, 64, has spent the past 19 years with the broadcaster.

As a player, the Australian is most recognized for his win at the 1991 Open Championship at Royal Birkdale. Baker-Finch began his broadcasting career with ESPN in 1998 and joined CBS in 2007.

'After 19 incredible years as a golf analyst with CBS Sports and a remarkable 30-year journey in the industry, I am announcing my retirement from broadcasting,' Baker-Finch said. 'Golf has been an enormous part of my life. I was fortunate to compete against the best players in the game and more recently work with the very best in television. To my CBS Sports family -- my teammates, producers, directors and crew -- thank you for your extraordinary talent dedication and camaraderie. You've made every moment in the booth a job, transforming broadcasts into cherished memories.'--Field Level Media
