Masters 2025: How to watch the first round at Augusta National—TV schedule, streaming, tee times

The Masters is not a spirit, it’s a marathon. Such is the mindset of many players in the field hoping to be slipping on a new sports coat in Butler Cabin come Sunday night. Cliché aside, the mantra is something many genuinely profess so as not to put too much pressure on themselves as they prepare to start the first round on Thursday.

The funny thing is, for golf fans ready to soak up all the action of the 2025 Masters, each day is its own mini-marathon. While the year’s first major still has the fewest hours of live TV coverage of any of the men’s big four, that’s a misnomer. You can literally see EVERY SHOT hit this week on Masters.com. All you need is a phone, tablet or computer with the Masters app, and you can be your own director, choosing any number of ways to watch the tournament in its entirety.

So, as you settle into Thursday’s first round of the 2025 Masters, here’s everything you need to know to watch Day 1.

‘Every Shot, Every Hole’

For those hoping to soak in even more coverage, there are several alternatives to watch this year’s tournament, including the revolutionary Masters “Every Shot, Every Hole” technology that allows viewers to see, well, everything. Also returning this year is the use of IBM Watson to provide text and audio AI commentary for all 20,000-plus shots shown during the tournament (this year in English and Spanish).
