Don’t Miss the Tee Off
Luckily for golf fans, many streaming services now provide on-demand access to the major sports broadcasters so that subscribers can watch the entire 2022 Masters Tournament online without cable. You need a Smart TV or a smartphone and Chromecast, and you’re good to go. Just make sure that your chosen service covers both ESPN and CBS, as some recommended budget services (like SlingTV) only provide one of the golf channels, meaning you’ll miss some of the important action from the golf course.
