How to watch the 2018 Masters

All eyes in the golf world will be on Augusta National Golf Course in Georgia this week as the 2018 Masters kicks off Thursday. The esteemed annual PGA tournament brings a field loaded with golf's biggest stars vying for a coveted green jacket for the winner after four rounds that culminate on Sunday.

Sergio García will be looking to repeat as champion this year. But he will have stiff competition from Phil Mickelson, who's been hot lately. Mickelson has won the Masters three times, most recently in 2010.

Tiger Woods will be playing in his first Masters since 2015. He has four Masters wins, but hasn't donned the elusive green jacket since 2005.
