Golf’s most celebrated event, the Masters Tournament, will remain on FOX SPORTS and, for the first time, viewers will enjoy ad-break free coverage in a new agreement announced today.

The new partnership will see start-to-finish coverage broadcast LIVE on FOX SPORTS and streamed on Foxtel Now along with the Nine Network, who becomes the free-to-air broadcast partner in 2018.

FOX SPORTS CEO, Patrick Delany, said: “The Masters is one of those special sporting events that captures our imagination; an event that the nation stops and watches.

“Since we began broadcasting the Masters Tournament live in 2014, we have constantly innovated our coverage. Our subscribers can now enjoy high definition, multi-camera coverage every day, all on a dedicated Masters channel.

“This year viewers will see our coverage improve even further, now having the ability to watch ad-break free during play for the first time.

“It’s great to see the Masters remain on Foxtel, the home of golf.”
