The sporting world’s attention turns to Augusta, Georgia, Thursday with Round 1 of the Masters. For the first time, viewers can find live coverage of the tournament on Amazon Prime Video.
Amazon has exclusive live coverage of the event from 1 p.m. ET to 3 p.m. ET during Rounds 1 and 2. For all four days of the tournament, Prime Video will produce live coverage of Amen Corner, the famed 11th, 12th and 13th holes at Augusta. Amazon’s “Inside Amen Corner” will feature advanced stats and bespoke camera angles designed to give the viewer a look at how different players attack the three holes strategically. The streamer will also have coverage of the 15th and 16th holes for all four days and showcase certain featured groups, though it will not produce that content.
Amazon is the fourth-ever media partner for Augusta National, led by Chairman Fred Ridley, following Paramount’s CBS, Versant-owned USA Network (1982 through 2007) and Disney’s ESPN.
