When it comes to the Masters, the organization itself provides the most direct and immersive audio experiences. These are the go-to, gold-standard options that bring you the unadulterated sounds and commentary straight from the Augusta, Georgia.
This is, without a doubt, the best and most accessible way for anyone in the world to listen to the tournament. Augusta National provides a free, live radio broadcast directly through its official website and mobile app.
For most people wanting a pure listening experience on their computer at work or through headphones on their phone, this is the number one option. It's free, it's official, and the production quality is second to none.
If you're a satellite radio subscriber, the Masters coverage on SiriusXM is an absolute treat. It's the perfect companion for long drives, running errands, or for those who simply prefer the traditional radio format.
Beyond the primary official broadcasters, a few other channels can help you stay connected to every developing storyline from Augusta National.
The traditional radio experience is still alive and well thanks to Westwood One, the official domestic radio partner of the Masters. Their broadcast is syndicated to hundreds of local sports radio stations across the United States.
While podcasts won't give you live play-by-play, they are an essential part of the modern Masters experience. They are perfect for your commute to work or for getting caught up on the day's action.
Pro tip: Subscribe to a few of your favorites before the week starts so new episodes automatically download to your phone.
A growing trend among serious golf fans is to create their own "second screen" experience. This involves watching the television broadcast on mute while listening to a separate audio feed, usually the official Masters.com or SiriusXM commentary.
Many fans prefer the more understated, respectful, and insightful commentary from the radio crews. They find it less intrusive and more focused on the on-course action and strategy. This method gives you the stunning visuals of Augusta National combined with the refined audio storytelling of the radio broadcast.
There might be a slight delay of a few seconds between the audio and video, but most people find it easy to adjust to and well worth it for the improved commentary experience.
