Amazon will show two additional hours of coverage for the first two rounds on Prime Video from 1–3 p.m. ET, leading into ESPN’s telecast from 3–7:30 p.m. 

“Working alongside Amazon in this capacity is an exciting opportunity for the Masters Tournament and its fans,” said Fred Ridley, chairman of Augusta National Golf Club. “We are proud of our longstanding partnerships with CBS Sports and ESPN, who have set the highest standard for broadcast coverage of the Masters. The addition of Amazon will only further our abilities to expand and enhance how the Tournament is presented and enjoyed.”
