The PGA Tour is headed back to the Augusta National Golf Club once again for the 2021 Masters Tournament. A year ago, the tournament was postponed to November due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This year, it’s back in its usual slot the weekend after the NCAA Tournament comes to a close.
Last fall, Dustin Johnson claimed the 2020 Masters by a five-stroke margin over Sungjae Im and Cameron Smith. As of April 6th, Johnson sits at the favorite to win the tournament on DraftKings Sportsbook with odds at +950. He’s closely followed by Bryson DeChambeau (+1100), Jordan Spieth (+1150), Justin Thomas (+1150), and Jon Rahm (+1200).
The tournament gets underway on Thursday, with tee times starting at 8 a.m. ET. ESPN will broadcast the first round of the tournament on Thursday with coverage from 3:00 to 7:30 p.m. ET. You’ll be able to watch a simulcast on Masters.com and the Masters app. Additionally, ESPN+ will offer live stream coverage all day, starting at 8:45 a.m.
