Masters coverage to include stats-driven look at Amen Corner on Prime Video
AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) — For those who can't get enough of the Masters, Augusta National is providing even more coverage this year. Its new deal with Prime Video will include a stats-driven broadcast of Amen Corner.
The Masters released its broadcast schedule Thursday for the April 9-12 tournament, which offers its usual full menu of viewing on its digital platforms. Prime Video and ESPN will have live coverage for the opening two rounds, and CBS has the weekend with two hours of lead-in on Paramount+. This is the 70th year for CBS to broadcast the Masters, and the 18th year ESPN has been involved for the weekday rounds.
New to the Masters this year is a deal announced in September with Prime Video, which will stream two hours (1 p. m. to 3 p.
m. ET) on Thursday and Friday that lead to the ESPN coverage. ESPN also has added “Welcome to the Masters,” two hours (10 a.
m. to noon) of a pregame show before the opening two rounds. The relationship with Prime already has led to a documentary on Rory McIlroy's historic win last year that allowed him to complete the career Grand Slam .
