Where to Watch the Masters Golf Tournament

The Masters golf tournament officially tees off Thursday, April 5 at Augusta National. This year, 87 golfers (including four-time Masters champ Tiger Woods) are vying for the coveted green jacket and the honor of selecting the meal served at next year’s champions dinner.
