A tradition like no other – THE MASTERS – returns to TSN this week, as Phil Mickelson defends his green jacket against some of the top players in the world, including Martin Kaymer, Lee Westwood, Graeme McDowell, Rory McIlroy, Ernie Els and Tiger Woods, who is looking to win a fifth MASTERS title. TSN captures every moment of THE MASTERS with its comprehensive coverage across all of its platforms.

TSN’s live coverage of THE MASTERS begins with THE MASTERS PAR 3 CONTEST on Wednesday, April 6 at 3 p.m. ET and continues with the first round on Thursday, April 7 at 3 p.m. ET. Along with live coverage of the second round on Friday, April 8 at 3 p.m. ET, TSN also has evening encores of the third and final rounds (see complete broadcast schedule below).

On top of TSN’s live broadcast coverage of the first two rounds, TSN.ca and the TSN MASTERS app offers golf lovers the complete MASTERS experience, with exclusive live online streaming in Canada that goes beyond the broadcast coverage from Augusta National Golf Club. Throughout all four rounds, fans will have access to five different video feeds featuring a variety of tournament action by visiting TSN.ca or by downloading the TSN MASTERS app for iPhone, iPad or iPod from iTunes.

Additional Broadcast Coverage from Augusta
TSN also tees up the first and second rounds with live one-hour preview shows airing Thursday, April 7 and Friday, April 8 at 2 p.m. ET with TSN’s Cory Woron, Jim Nelford and resident golf expert Bob Weeks providing in-depth reports and analysis from the tournament. The preview shows will also look back 25 years ago to Jack Nicklaus’ historic final MASTERS victory, profile the biggest golfers at Augusta – from the promising rookies to Kaymer, the world’s top-ranked player – and examine the rise of European players on the golf scene.

Fans can also relive Nicklaus’ famed MASTERS win through ESPN’s Original Documentary YES SIR: JACK NICKLAUS AND THE ’86 MASTERS airing Saturday, April 9 at 1:30 p.m. ET on TSN.

TSN.ca and TSN MASTERS App
The only way to see live streaming of THE MASTERS in Canada is on TSN.ca.

With the latest news, leader board and headlines plus exclusive live streaming, TSN.ca provides extended coverage of THE MASTERS.

Canada’s industry-leading sports website offers live coverage of MASTERS action that differs from the television broadcast. Throughout the tournament, TSN.ca will give fans the opportunity to view five different live streams including the famous Amen Corner (holes 11, 12 and 13) and holes 15 and 16, plus a Masters In-Depth feed, featuring news and highlights from Augusta (see complete live stream schedule below). All of these feeds will also be available by downloading the TSN MASTERS app for iPhone, iPad or iPod from iTunes.

SPORTSCENTRE
SPORTSCENTRE will have in-depth features and daily reports all week from Woron, Nelford and Weeks. Along with post-round reaction, SPORTSCENTRE will include stories on top golfers Mickelson, Woods and Mike Weir, Canadian swing coach Sean Foley and Augusta’s historically tough hole 12.
