How to Watch the 2023 Masters: Channel, Live Stream, Schedule

The Masters Tournament, which kicks off the 2023 PGA Tour season, began today and will continue through Sunday, April 9, when the winner of the 87th annual tournament will be announced.

It’s all going down, as it does every year, at the Augusta National Golf Course in Augusta, GA.

There are a few ways to tune into this year’s tournament whether you have cable or are a cord-cutter. To catch all of the action, you’ll have to check out a combination of channels or streaming services.

Tiger Woods is among the golfers participating in The Masters, alongside Rory McIlroy, Jon Rahm, and last year’s Masters champ Scottie Scheffler — three of the greatest players in international golf.

No matter how you plan on watching the tournament, we’ve outlined all of the ways you tune in below.

How To Watch The Masters On TV:

If you have a traditional cable subscription or subscribe to a live TV streaming service, you’ll be able to watch The Masters on ESPN and CBS.
