The Masters, it is said, is a tradition unlike any other, and this year's Masters Tournament will be unlike any previous version. Usually held in April as the first major tournament on the calendar, the Masters is the last major of 2020 after being postponed because of the coronavirus pandemic. The tournament starts Thursday and will be the first time the Masters will take place when the azaleas are not in bloom. In another first, this year's tournament will be devoid of spectators.
Tiger Woods is the defending champion and is scheduled to tee off on Thursday at 7:55 a.m. ET (4:55 a.m. PT) from the 10th tee with Shane Lowry and Andy Ogletree. Woods may be the owner of five green jackets, but he's not favored to win his sixth this week. Bryson DeChambeau is the favorite to capture his first green jacket, followed by Dustin Johnson, Jon Rahm, Justin Thomas and Rory McIlroy.
With or without a cable TV subscription, golf fans have plenty of ways to watch the world's best golfers compete at the world's best golf course this week. Here's what you need to know.

Live TV streaming options
If you don't have a cable or satellite TV subscription, you can watch the Masters with a live TV streaming service. All five of the major services offer ESPN, and four of the five (all but Sling TV) offer CBS. If you're only interested in watching the final two rounds of the tournament over the weekend, you can use CBS All Access. The catch is that not every service carries every local network, so check each one using the links below to make sure it carries CBS in your area.
If you live in an area with good reception, you can watch the weekend coverage on CBS for free on over-the-air broadcast channels just by attaching an affordable (under $30) indoor antenna to nearly any TV.
