We'll break it all down for you here. Assuming you're not out walking the course, you'll be able to watch pretty much every second of the tournament in some form or fashion on TV or online.
As has been the case for a while, ESPN and CBS are sharing the television duties for getting you all the images from Augusta National. Thursday and Friday you'll turn to ESPN, and then the weekend festivities move to CBS.
The weather has also impacted how to watch The Masters already this year, as Thursday broadcasts are delayed.

Your Complete Guide to All 18 Holes at Augusta National for The 2024 Masters
Augusta National Golf Club is one of the most storied courses in all of golf, with some of the most distinctive holes that make or break dreams at The Masters, and there's just one change to the course this year.
For the third year in a row, Augusta National has lengthened a Par 5, as golfers get more and more distance in their games. More on that below.
The legendary course in Augusta, Ga. is surrounded by beautiful trees, flowers and bushes - and you'll know exactly what many of them are, because the holes are named after them. Each hole features at least some of the foliage it is named after.
While the course doesn't look much like it originally did, there are traces of its history throughout. Golfers face a significant challenge at nearly every hole, and there are very few places to find easy relief.
Hole No. 2 - Pink Dogwood - added just 10 yards this year, but those yards could be significant, as they bring a hazard into play that had become mostly irrelevant.
Here, we take a look at all 18 holes, looking at what golfers expect to face, and just how difficult each one plays all time.
It's a course unlike any other, for a tradition unlike any other: Here's all 18 holes of Augusta National Golf Club for The Masters.
Hole 1 - Tea Olive
Photo by Andrew Redington/Getty ImagesTea Olive is a Par 4, 445 yard hole, with a fairway bunker not far from the green. It averages a 4.24 all-time, the sixth hardest on the course.
Hole 2 - Pink Dogwood
Photo by Maddie Meyer/Getty ImagesPink Dogwood is a Par 5, 585 yard hole, with a new tee box positioned in a far more precarious place. Play it right, and it's still reachable in two shots. Play it wrong, and the greenside bunkers are deep and mean. It averages a 4.78 all-time, the 16th hardest on the course.
Hole 3 - Flowering Peach
Photo by Patrick Smith/Getty ImagesFlowering Peach is a Par 4 at 350 yards. The least-changed hole on the course, with fairway bunkers making shot-selection tricky. It averages a 4.08 all-time, and is the 14th most difficult hole on the course.
Hole 4 - Flowering Crab Apple
Photo by Patrick Smith/Getty ImagesFlowering Crab Apple is a Par 3 at 240 yards. Good luck on this one. If you can battle the winds and nasty bunkers, the sloped green offers no relief. It averages 3.28 all-time, and is the third hardest hole on the course.
Hole 5 - Magnolia
Photo by Jamie Squire/Getty ImagesMagnolia is a Par 4 at 495 yards. After you recover from 4, you're greeted with another series of challenges, and an uphill, dogleg hike. It averages 4.26 all-time, and is the fifth hardest hole on the course.
Hole 6 - Juniper
Photo by Christian Petersen/Getty ImagesJuniper is a Par 3 at 180 yards. A little bit of relief comes on 6, as long as the pin placement is in your favor. It averages 3.14 all-time and is the 13th hardest hole overall.
Hole 7 - Pampas
Photo by Patrick Smith/Getty ImagesPampas is a Par 4 at 450 yards. The bunkers nearly completely surrounding the green offer a challenge here. It averages 4.16 all-time and is the 10th hardest hole overall.
Hole 8 - Yellow Jasmine
Photo by Patrick Smith/Getty ImagesYellow Jasmine is a Par 5 at 570 yards. There are low scores to be had here, as long as you can avoid the fairway bunker. But the mounds around the green create a distinctive navigation challenge. It plays 4.82 all-time, and is the 15th hardest hole.
Hole 9 - Carolina Cherry
Photo by Patrick Smith/Getty ImagesCarolina Cherry is a Par 4 at 460 yards. The legendary back to front slope can get you here, but play it safe and it's a good par hole. It averages 4.14 all-time and is the 12th hardest hole on the course.
Hole 10 - Camelia
Photo by Andrew Redington/Getty ImagesCamellia is a Par 4 at 495 yards. Welcome to hell. It's a long hole. The green pitches right to left. It's just nasty. It averages 4.30 all-time and is traditionally the hardest hole on the course.
Hole 11 - White Dogwood
Photo by Andrew Redington/Getty ImagesWhite Dogwood is a Par 4 at 520 yards. So you survived hell on 10, too bad you get another dose here. Amen Corner kicks off with wind and a downhill tee shot. You've got the pond and a bunker guarding the green. It offers you no mercy. It averages 4.30 all-time, and is typically the second hardest hole on the course.
Hole 12 - Golden Bell
Photo by Maddie Meyer/Getty ImagesGolden Bell is a Par 3 at 155 yards. When you picture Augusta National, this is likely the hole you have in your mind. It's legendary. While Rae's Creek may be a lovely view, it's a brutal hazard. This hole averages 3.27 all-time, and is the fourth hardest hole on the course.
Hole 13 - Azalea
Photo by Maddie Meyer/Getty ImagesAzalea is a Par 5 at 545 yards. This hole used to come as welcome tension relief after what you just went through. It averages 4.77, typically this was easiest hole on the course. ... BUT, big changes last year, as the hole got MUCH longer, and much more difficult.
Hole 14 - Chinese Fir
Photo by Patrick Smith/Getty ImagesChinese Fir is a Par 4 at 440 yards. You'll learn how to putt on this hole. The terraced green is challenging, with a nasty drop. It's the only hole on the course without a bunker. It averages 4.17 overall, the 8th hardest hole.
Hole 15 - Firethorn
Photo by Maddie Meyer/Getty ImagesFirethorn is a Par 5 at 550 yards. There are scores to be had here, as you head for home. It can be reached in 2 as long as headwinds aren't jinxing you. It plays at 4.77 all-time, and is the 17th hardest hole on the course.
Hole 16 - Redbud
Photo by Andrew Redington/Getty ImagesRedbud is a Par 3 at 170 yards. You're flying over water here, so don't come up short. And don't miss anywhere else either, cause you'll find a bunker. Be happy to leave here with a par. It averages 3.14 all-time and is the 11th hardest on the course.
Hole 17 - Nandia
Photo by Ross Kinnaird/Getty ImagesNandia is a Par 4 at 440 yards. One of the trickiest greens on the course, so safety as you get ready for the final hole is important here. It averages 4.16 all-time, the 9th hardest on the course.
Hole 18 - Holly
Photo by Maddie Meyer/Getty ImagesHolly is a Par 4 at 465 yards. You know this hole well. It's uphill and doglegs right, with some protective bunkers on the fairway. Some of the greatest shots in golf history have come here. It averages 4.23 all-time, the 7th hardest on the course.
