The Masters Tournament is considered the gold standard (or in this case the green standard) for the PGA world.
Since its inception, the heralded Augusta, Georgia, course has held the event to growing recognition around the sports world.
From the legendary Bobby Jones starting the Masters Tournament to Tiger Woods’ epic win back in 1997, sports fans have paid attention to this four-day event more than any other tournament in the calendar.

ESPN and CBS will split coverage of the 2022 Masters Tournament with ESPN covering it on Thursday and Friday. In what is a new tradition, coverage will switch to CBS with Jim Nantz handling the primary broadcasting duties. The two networks previously handed off coverage on a per-day basis.
