Ready to watch the Masters? Here's how to view one of golf's most revered tourneys.
One of the most revered traditions in all of sports is unfolding this weekend, as the top names in golf battle at the 2024 Masters through Sunday at the historic Augusta National Golf Club in Georgia.
Much of the spotlight will be on a trio of the sport’s leading practitioners: 2022 Masters champion Scottie Scheffler, four-time major winner Rory McIlroy and defending champion Jon Rahm.
But they will face competition from 86 other top players prepared to challenge Augusta National’s legendary fairways and greens for the honor to don the tournament’s famed green jacket.
If you’re a golf fan not lucky enough to be watching in person from the gallery, there are still ample opportunities to catch all of the action on TV or streaming online.
How to watch the Masters on TV
TV coverage for the 2024 Masters will be similar to the past several years. ESPN will air the first and second rounds on Thursday and Friday. On Saturday and Sunday, CBS will take over the TV coverage to broadcast the third and final rounds.
