Live streaming, tv broadcast, and commentary schedule of golf this week at the 2017 Masters Tournament.

Golf this week is all about the 2017 Masters! Although most of us won’t be strolling the Augusta National fairways, Golf Channel, CBS Sports Network, ESPN, and Masters.com will bring us full coverage and comfortable seats.

Although CBS has a lock on the weekend tee-to-green live action, there’s plenty of Augusta National tv and radio broadcast and live streaming coverage all week.

All tv broadcast times are listed in ET. You’ll need to make the appropriate conversions.

Sunday, April 2

Start your day with the Drive, Chip, and Putt National Finals at 8am on Golf Channel. (For those who slept in or went to church, there will be a replay at 10pm.) Then it’s time for the final rounds of the Shell Houston Open (1pm),  the Mississippi Gulf Resort Classic (3pm), and the ANA Inspiration (5pm).

Monday, April 3

CBS Sports Network and Masters.com will take you to the driving range beginning at noon. Golf Channel talking heads will be Live From The Masters beginning at 2pm and if you want a refresher of the 2016 Masters you can get an hour of last year’s highlights beginning at 5pm. More Live From The Masters talking heads will follow.

Tuesday, April 4

CBS Sports Network is at the driving range again, 9-11am and Masters.com will be streaming from the driving range beginning at noon. Golf Channel’s Live From The Masters talking heads also get started at 9am. If you’re not strapped to a desk you can get a full dose of pre-game warm-up conversation.

Beginning at 5pm Golf Channel will broadcast two hours of memory lane – 1992 Masters highlights of Fred Couples’ victory start at 5pm and at 6pm 1997 highlights will feature Tiger Woods’ win that year. More Live From The Masters chatter will follow.

There will be no tv coverage of the annual Champions Dinner although I expect there will be considerable attention given to this event by the talking heads.

Wednesday, April 5

For the early birds, Golf Channel will get you ready for the day with Live From The Masters, beginning at 6am. CBS Sports Network will take you to the driving range, 9-11am with Masters.com streaming the driving range action beginning at noon. ESPN and Masters.com will provide coverage of the Par 3 Contest beginning at 3pm. Those who aren’t able to watch the Par 3 Contest action live can catch up with an 8pm encore on ESPN2.

Golf Channel will provide another trip down memory lane at 5pm with highlights from Phil Mickelson’s 2010 Masters victory.

Thursday, April 6 and Friday, April 7
