The 2021 Masters Tournament tees off in Augusta, Georgia on Thursday, April 8th, a year removed from the tournament getting delayed into November due to COVID-19.
The delay resulted in several unexpected quirks to the traditional broadcast schedule. Multiple rounds were suspended due to darkness with the tournament playing after we set clocks back for fall daylight savings. Additionally, the tournament weekend had to be adjusted around college football on Saturday and the NFL on Sunday.
This year, we’re back to the traditional schedule following the close of the NCAA basketball tournament. The tournament tees off Thursday morning at 8 a.m. and thus begins the sprint to Sunday’s Green Jacket ceremony.
