Tiger Woods finished up the final few holes of his opening round of the 2024 Masters this morning after yesterday’s rain delayed the start of the tournament. Woods ended the round at one over par and had a quick turnaround before he started his second round earlier today. Bryson DeChambeau led after the first round at seven under, one shot ahead of Scottie Scheffler. 

With or without a cable TV subscription, golf fans have plenty of ways to watch the world’s best golfers compete at the world’s best golf course this week. Here’s what you need to know.

Can I livestream the Masters online for free?

On the Masters website or mobile app, you can stream live without having to sign in with a pay TV provider. You can also watch a livestream of the Masters on CBSSports.com or the CBS Sports app, also without needing pay TV credentials. The Masters site will have the TV simulcast livestream each day, and both the Masters site and CBS Sports will offer an additional five livestreams each of the four days of the tournament:

  • You can follow featured groups at the Masters throughout each day.
  • You can watch golfers navigate holes 4, 5 and 6.
  • You can watch the action as it passes through Amen Corner, Augusta National’s most famous sequence of holes: the treacherous par-4 11th, the short par-3 12th and the long par-5 13th.
  • You can watch golfers navigate holes 15 and 16.
  • You can select your favorite golfers and watch all of their shots with the My Group feature.

Live TV streaming options

If you don’t have a cable or satellite TV subscription, you can watch the Masters with a live TV streaming service. All five of the major services offer ESPN, and four of the five (all but Sling TV) offer CBS. If you’re only interested in watching the final two rounds of the tournament over the weekend, you can use Paramount Plus. The catch is that not every service carries every local network, so check each one using the links below to make sure it carries CBS in your area. 

In addition to the ESPN broadcast of the first two rounds, ESPN Plus will also show portions of the tournament each of the four days of the tournament.

Stream all four rounds on ESPN and CBS
