FILE - Fred Ridley, chairman of Augusta National Golf Club, shakes hands with Winner Scottie Scheffler at the Masters golf tournament at Augusta National Golf Club Sunday, April 14, 2024, in Augusta , Ga. The Masters and CBS are expanding television coverage next year by five hours, which includes two hours on Saturday and Sunday through the Paramount+ streaming service of CBS.
“The Masters Tournament has had the great fortune of enjoying an extraordinary relationship with CBS Sports for nearly 70 years,” said Fred Ridley, chairman of Augusta National and the Masters. ”Alongside our friends at the network, we are pleased to extend the tournament’s weekend coverage and ultimately deliver more live golf for Masters fans.”
CBS has made its live coverage of sporting events available on Paramount+.
