Baker-Finch, 64, has become one of the most revered golfing voices over the past two decades following a highly successful playing career that included hoisting the claret jug in 1991.
Last week’s Open Championship was his last time in the booth for broadcaster CBS having joined the network in 2007 after crossing from ESPN. “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 in a statement.
“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 joy, transforming broadcasts into cherished memories.
“To my colleagues across the industry and golf fans around the world, your support and shared love for this game over these decades have meant everything.
“As I step away, I carry with me immense gratitude and pride for the moments we’ve shared on and off the course.
“Here’s to new adventures and the enduring love of golf.”
Baker-Finch won 17 professional events, including two each on the PGA Tour and European Tour before transitioning to commentary.
He also became chairman of the PGA of Australia in 2024.
