Prime Video is set to make its debut at the 90th Masters on Thursday, exclusively live-streaming the first two hours of the first two rounds from Augusta National. As part of its coverage, the platform will feature Inside Amen Corner, a dedicated feed providing stats-enhanced viewing, real-time ball tracking, and swing analysis on the famed 11th, 12th, and 13th holes.
Prime Video's coverage begins at 1 p.m. ET, with ESPN taking over at 3 p.m. on weekdays. At the weekend, Paramount+ starts at noon, followed by CBS from 2 p.m. to 7 p.m. Additional live video channels include featured pairings, action from holes four through six, Amen Corner, and the 15th and 16th holes.
The ceremonial tee shots are scheduled for 7:25 a.m. EDT on Thursday, with Jack Nicklaus, Gary Player, and Tom Watson hitting first. The field consists of 91 players, maintaining the Masters tradition of fewer than 100 competitors since 1967. Scottie Scheffler is the betting favourite at +600, followed by Jon Rahm (+1000), defending champion Rory McIlroy and Bryson DeChambeau (+1200), and Ludvig Aberg and Xander Schauffele (+1400).
Trendy picks include Cameron Young (+2000), Matt Fitzpatrick (+2200), Justin Rose (+3000), and Akshay Bhatia (+5500). Bettors can also wager on specific hole scores, American versus international players, whether there will be a hole-in-one, or if a playoff occurs. Scheffler aims to continue his even-numbered year winning streak, seeking a third green jacket.
Notable absentees include Tiger Woods, who misses the tournament for the second straight year following a recent arrest on a driving under the influence charge, and Phil Mickelson, absent for only the third time as a pro due to a family health matter. This marks the first Masters since 1994 without either Woods or Mickelson.
New additions this year include a three-level player services building behind the driving range, featuring a gym, recovery room, large locker room, and dining facilities. The Masters concession also introduces a new candy bar simply named 'Candy Bar'.
