A green jacket is on the line as the world’s best golfers tee up this week at Augusta National for the most unique edition of the Masters the storied course has ever seen.
The tournament will be televised on ESPN (1-5:30 p.m. ET on Thursday and Friday) and CBS (1 p.m.-5:30 p.m. ET on Saturday; 10 a.m.-3 p.m. ET on Sunday), but ESPN+ will have much more comprehensive coverage for all four rounds.

2020 Masters Preview
The Masters have arrived, albeit a few months later than expected. The backdrop might be simple foliage rather than the azaleas, but the competition will be on par with what has become the standard at the storied tournament.
“Oh, so different,” Tony Finau said this week. “The golf course is still amazing. But it just looks so different.”
The tournament will not just look different — it will also sound different with no fans cheering the players on.
“You’re on the putting green up on 1 and you can hear eagles down on 13,” said defending champion Tiger Woods, who has always thrived with the noise. “That’s what this tournament is all about, and we’re not going to have that this year. It’s going to be very different.”
Someone who has changed the game is Bryson DeChambeau, who should have an edge this week with his massive drives. He’s the favorite to win, per CBS Sports, just ahead of Dustin Johnson, Jon Rahm and Justin Thomas.
“Every day I’m trying to get faster and stronger and I’m trying to hit it as far as possible,” DeChambeau said.
DeChambeau’s competition recognizes that he’ll be in good position with his deep, deep drives, especially on this course.
“It’s a substantially easier golf course for him than it is for everybody else,” said Justin Thomas. “I think once he starts messing with that longer driver and has a little bit more free time, then as crazy as it is, he might be able to hit it further.”
