The Best Way to Watch The Masters

You take it for granted these days, but the coverage, both televised and otherwise, is now extensive and captivating at The Masters. 

It wasn't that long ago when the front-nine was rarely seen on TV, but now, while it doesn't quite offer the same as the other major championships in terms of sheer hours, the organisers at Augusta National make up for it in other ways. 

You can sit back and consume various feeds, whether it be Featured Groups, Amen Corner, or the 15th and 16th Holes, where you have the opportunity to see every player in the invited field, all of which is a perfect appetiser for when the main broadcast begins later in the day.

However, the best way to watch the 2025 Masters might not be on your TV, but rather on the app or official website.

The Masters App is one of the very best out there and through that or other online means, you have the chance to watch almost every shot played by each player. 

In more recent years, an innovation has seen that the entire field is charted throughout their round, shot-by-shot, meaning that you can see the entire round of those golfers who perhaps don't feature in the main coverage. 

Why is this so good, you ask? Well, it means that you can become your own producer or director, choosing which names you follow and what shots you see. It places you - the viewer - in control to put together your own Masters broadcast.

It's a great way to follow your favourites, but it's also fascinating to track the complete round of a leading professional, as you can gain an understanding of just how they plot their way around, and you would be surprised to see just how many average or mediocre shots these guys hit.

But what it does offer is an exhibition of how they recover and put together a score - all things that we can learn from.

A few years ago, I went through the complete first day of Larry Mize, the 1987 champion who was then in his early 60s. He may have only shot 77, which sounds fairly ordinary, but when you consider just how much yardage he was giving up to his playing partners and the course, it was intriguing to see how he navigated this iconic layout, where he positioned his ball, even laying up on par fours just to give himself the best angles to shoot the lowest score possible.

That five-over round wouldn't make any headlines, but it was absolutely the best he could have shot, Mize got the maximum from his game through decades of experience and knowledge and following that savviness was in its own way an exhibition of mastery.

When you're following The Masters on the app or website - and we recommend that you do - choose some players to follow in their entirety and see exactly what you can learn about Augusta National, how to score, and what you could take away and apply to your own game.

It might just be the best way to watch the first major of the year.
