Masters 2021: How to watch the Masters at Augusta National on television and streaming online
Dom Furore
At first glance, it feels like a typo. Add the number of hours of live broadcasting of the 85th Masters on ESPN and CBS and the grand total is just … 18?!? Seriously? The tournament the entire golf world waits for every spring and all you get is 18 hours of live broadcasting coverage?
Don’t let that fool you, however. The savvy golf fan can watch every shot of the tournament—literally—thanks to the variety of streaming options the Masters offers for your computer or mobile device. Indeed there are several ways to watch this year’s tournament, from traditional TV coverage to the Masters revolutionary “Every Shot, Every Hole” technology that allows to see everything
In between, Masters.com and ESPN+ will offer three additional “featured holes” channels: one from Amen Corner (11th, 12th and 13th holes); one for the 15th and 16th holes and one for the fourth, fifth and sixth holes, which debuted last November for the 2020 Masters. There will also be a separate channel for spotlight coverage of two featured groups from the morning and afternoon waves each day.
While ESPN won’t be airing the Par 3 Contest on Wednesday, there will be a special two-hour preview show, Wednesday at the Masters, on ESPN from 12 noon-2 p.m.
