Masters digital platforms will also provide up-to-date, around the clock coverage. Be sure to familiarize yourself with Masters.com as the most thorough and uncomplicated way to follow the Masters. Visit Masters.com, download the free app for iPhone, iPad and Android phones and follow the Tournament’s affiliated social media platforms by following (@TheMasters) on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube and Snapchat.

Masters.com and the Masters App offer various channels to supplement the live broadcast, including Featured Groups, Amen Corner, hole Nos. 15 and 16, and hole Nos. 4, 5 and 6. Also, the “Every Shot, Every Hole” feature which debuted in 2019 returns and will be supplemented for a second consecutive Masters by “My Group”, which allows fans to build a personalized feed of every shot from their favorite players.
