The Masters: How to watch and things to know
CNN
Tuck away your Masters-branded solar glasses, the eclipse has come and gone over Augusta National Golf Club. Only one fashion item matters now: the green jacket.
Tuck away your Masters-branded solar glasses, the eclipse has come and gone over Augusta National Golf Club. Only one fashion item matters now: the green jacket. The 88th edition of one of sport’s most prestigious tournaments tees off in Georgia on Thursday, raising the curtain on the men’s major calendar for 2024. Akshay Bhatia popped his shoulder back in to secure the final spot on a star-studded 89-player field headlined by reigning champion Jon Rahm, red-hot world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler, grand slam chasing Rory McIlroy and – back in action once again – five-time winner Tiger Woods. Fans in the US can watch the first two rounds on ESPN between 3 and 7 p.m. ET. The weekend’s action will be broadcasted by CBS, with coverage Sunday’s deciding round starting an hour earlier at 2 p.m. ET. Sky Sports Golf leads coverage for UK viewers. The opening two rounds will be shown from 2pm BST, while the weekend’s broadcasts begin from 3pm BST. The Masters website and official app will also be broadcasting the tournament, with fans able to watch featured groups and the action from Amen Corner, the fabled three-hole stretch (11, 12, 13) on the back nine at Augusta National.
