The Masters is a historic men’s golfing championship that sees one golfer take home the illustrious green jacket. Held at the same place every single year, Georgia’s Augusta National Golf Club, the competition is the first of four annual golf majors. (The US Open, the Open and the PGA Championship make up the other three.)
The world’s most impressive golfers all take part in the Masters. But winning it takes incredible skill. The 18-hole course is renowned for its difficulty, and, at the end of the four-day tournament, only one golfer will triumph.
When is the 2020 Masters?
The 2020 Masters was scheduled to tee off on April 9. However, the tournament has been postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The tentative replacement date is August 6 – August 9.
It’s likely the TV channel line-up will remain the same. ESPN was set to air the first two rounds and the par-three contest of the championship, with CBS broadcasting the third and fourth rounds.
You can also catch coverage online via the Masters site.
