GOLF Magazine and GOLF.com Celebrate a Unique Masters Week with Unparalleled Coverage
Sponsored by Michelob Ultra, GOLF is celebrating Masters week with the most distinctive voices in golf delivering innovative content across all platforms
NEW YORK, NY – While the Masters’ absence from golf’s spring schedule is felt by fans everywhere, just about the only thing missing from GOLF’s 2020 Masters week coverage are peach ice cream sandwiches and a manual leaderboard.
Even without a Green Jacket on the line, GOLF’s Masters week programming, sponsored by Michelob Ultra, fills the void with an unparalleled salute to the tournament and its magical blend of tradition, personality, and some of the most inspiring moments in sports.
So pack your pimento cheese sandwiches and smell those azaleas—GOLF is delivering more than 50 pieces of original Masters-themed content across its platforms throughout the rest of April.
Special Masters week coverage on the GOLF and GOLF.com platforms include:
The Masters That Never Was. Two of the most celebrated golf writers in the business – GOLF senior writers Alan Shipnuck and Michael Bamberger – bring the Masters to life with fictional coverage of how the Masters Tournament might have played out had it been conducted this week at Augusta National Golf Club. With daily installments arriving each evening, our intrepid reporters will file creative accounts of the day’s imagined action at Augusta. From the sights and sounds of practice rounds to the Green Jacket ceremony, Shipnuck and Bamberger will deliver captivating coverage of the greatest Masters that never happened!
Live from Masters Sunday. On what would have been Masters Sunday, GOLF’s roster of industry-insiders and writers come together for a live-stream event, re-watching Tiger Woods’ epic 15th major victory. A year after Tiger’s triumphant return to Butler Cabin, GOLF’s pundits and personalities will reflect on all the drama and suspense of that historic Sunday in April. With special guests joining the virtual clubhouse conversation, GOLF’s Sunday live-stream is this year’s Masters appointment viewing.
A Podcast Unlike Any Other. Sean Zak relives the magic of Augusta National through this nostalgic podcast in which GOLF editors re-watch old Masters broadcasts offering insight and humor into Masters moments of the past.
