How to stream the Masters without cable:

Coverage of The Masters is quite spread out this year, with highlights streaming on Prime Video, daily coverage streaming on Paramount+ and coverage airing across CBS, CBS Sports Network and ESPN.

The simplest way to catch most of the tournament is to pick a live TV streaming service like DIRECTV's MySports Genre Pack®, which includes access ESPN (and the ESPN Unlimited streaming tier), CBS and CBS Sports Network.

Why we love DIRECTV:

As Senior Yahoo Tech writer Rick Broida puts it, DIRECTV is the “polished and likable” cable alternative that cord-cutters have been searching for. Miss flipping through endless channels on the hunt for a gem to tune into? DIRECTV’s got one of the best channel guides out there. And in terms of content diversity, DIRECTV has you covered there, too, with packages ranging from hyper-specific Genre Packs for sports fans and reality TV zealots to full-coverage options for TV fans who want it all. Sports fans, meanwhile, will appreciate that ESPN Unlimited is included with many DIRECTV plans to boot. And don't worry about missing your favorite shows, either: In addition to live channels, DIRECTV offers a full range of on-demand programming and unlimited DVR, too. That's why we called DIRECTV the best cable TV replacement in the streaming world.
