Excitement for the first fall Masters is building as Augusta National Golf Club is set to take center stage in November for the first time.
The annual April event was moved seven months down the calendar out of concerns for COVID-19. As such, patrons will be be allowed on site.
“Given the circumstances brought about by the pandemic, the delivery of quality content is as important as ever to the storytelling of the Masters Tournament,” Fred Ridley, Chairman of Augusta National Golf Club, said in a statement posted on Masters.com. “While we will dearly miss our patrons at Augusta National this fall, we are excited to showcase what promises to be a truly memorable Masters in a variety of ways for viewers around the world.”
But the viewing experience is getting bigger and better.
Long-time broadcast partner CBS will team up with ESPN to provide 18 hours of live television coverage over the four-day event, Nov. 12-15.
The telecast will also be available on Masters.com and the official Masters app. But, wait. There’s more.
Returning in 2020 is Featured Groups coverage as well as Amen Corner and holes 15 and 16. New this year is coverage of Nos. 4, 5 and 6.
“Every Shot, Every Hole” is back after debuting a year ago, allowing viewers instant access to every single golf shot hit all week. That is now being supplemented by “My Group,” which allows viewers to build a their own personalized feed of every shot from their favorite players.
Warm up the flat screen, get your tablet turned on and launch the app on your phone. Basically get your hands on any screen you can find and get ready for the ultimate multi-screen experience.
