Masters Golf Television Coverage Expands in 2025

The Masters Tournament at Augusta National Golf Club is expanding its television coverage in partnership with CBS for the 2025 tournament. This move will bring more live action to viewers than ever before.

While the Masters Tournament maintains a prestigious and exclusive image, it’s surprisingly accessible to viewers. Unlike other professional golf tournaments with extensive PGA Tour coverage, the Masters traditionally aired only nine hours on CBS over the weekend. However, the tournament provides comprehensive coverage through its free digital and mobile apps, capturing every moment of the week. This extensive digital coverage has mitigated criticism of the limited traditional broadcast window.

In 2025, CBS will broadcast an additional five hours of live coverage, including an extra hour on both Saturday and Sunday afternoons. Weekend coverage will now run from 2-7 p.m. ET, totaling 10 hours. Paramount Plus will also stream two additional hours of coverage before CBS’s broadcast begins each weekend day.

This expansion marks the most extensive television schedule in Masters history. It signifies a decades-long evolution in broadcasting for the historically private club. Just thirty years ago, Augusta National’s iconic front nine was unseen on television. Now, viewers enjoy comprehensive coverage across multiple networks, platforms, and days, with minimal commercial interruption.

Augusta National’s commitment to enhancing the viewer experience extends beyond traditional broadcasts. The Masters App is widely considered a benchmark in sports entertainment. In 2024, the club even launched a Masters VR App for Apple Vision Pro headsets, further demonstrating its dedication to innovation.

These developments demonstrate a broader trend: the Masters is actively striving to connect fans more closely with golf’s premier event. The expanded Masters Golf Television Coverage for 2025 is a significant step in that direction, promising an even more immersive experience for viewers worldwide. The changes will undoubtedly enhance the viewing experience for fans eager to follow the action at Augusta National.
