Are you looking for some other ways to follow the 2009 Masters Tournament from Augusta National Golf Club, besides standard TV coverage? If your diehard golf fan like me, watching the coverage at home or on the road just got easier and better, thanks to enhanced coverage from DIRECTV, the Masters Tournament iPhone Application, and twitter.
DIRECTV Enhanced Masters Coverage
DIRECTV brings you the storied Masters with unprecedented coverage from the Augusta National Golf Club. Enjoy three channels, each with multiple cameras and its own announcing team, in addition to the CBS coverage, as well as a MASTERS MIX CHANNEL that lets you see all four on one screen. Keep tabs on all the action with interactive scores and updates you can call up at the touch of a button. Plus, enjoy DIRECTV on DEMAND programs to round out your Masters experience. April 9th-12th on DIRECTV channels 701-705…And best of all, it’s free! I really wish I had DIRECTV, because this looks like this will be great supplement to the traditional broadcast coverage. For more information visit DIRECTV.
The Masters Tournamet iPhone Application
If you don’t have DIRECTV, and you own an iPhone, you can get live streaming video from the Tournament including Amen Corner Live, holes No. 15 & 16, Masters Extra, the Par 3 Contest and Player Interviews from 3 locations. Other features include a Live Leader Board featuring an over/under scoring view, player information and pairings with tee times.
The majority of the features in this iPhone Application go live on April 9th, but in the meantime you can get detailed course and video flyovers of each hole at Augusta National Golf Club, as well as watch video highlights from previous Masters. The iPhone Masters app works over, 3G, Wifi, and Edge networks, so you’ll never miss any of the action. And the app is free! You can’t beat that. Download the Masters iPhone Application
Twitter Coverage of the 2009 Masters
Don’t have DIRECTV, or an iPhone? No problem, you can get updates live via twitter by following The_Masters and PGATOUR. Another great free option for quick updates when you can’t be in front of the TV.
