Titans voice Taylor Zarzour subbing for Mike Tirico on 2026 Masters radio
Tennessee Titans play-by-play caller Taylor Zarzour will be the radio voice of the 2026 Masters, with Mike Tirico taking a year off.
Tennessee Titans fans who also enjoy keeping up with golf might hear a familiar voice at the 2026 Masters when the first major of the year tees off on April 9. Taylor Zarzour, who took over as Voice of the Titans in 2025, will serve as the lead play-by-play voice for SiriusXM's live radio coverage of the 90th edition of the Masters in Augusta, Georgia, calling all four rounds from a booth near the 18th green. Mike Tirico , who has served as the voice of the Masters on radio since 2022, is taking the year off, providing Zarzour — who has been involved in coverage of the Masters for 17 years — the opportunity to take the lead role.
"Mike decided this year because he did the Super Bowl and the Olympics, and he's been so busy with the NBA, to take the year off, and they asked me to do it instead," Zarzour said. "I'm going to miss Mike because he's just the best there is and he's helped me so much over the years.
