Amazon Prime Video Unveils Talent Lineup for Masters Debut

Amazon Prime Video is preparing for its debut as a Masters broadcaster, with Terry Gannon, a well-known announcer from NBC Sports and Golf Channel, leading the team. This foray represents a significant step for Amazon in the broadcasting of prestigious sporting events.

Prime Video's coverage will focus on the first and second rounds of the tournament, offering viewers a unique and detailed perspective of the championship.

Gannon will call the action from Butler Cabin and will be joined by special guests such as Jack Nicklaus, as well as other current and former stars that will be announced soon. The presence of Nicklaus, a golf legend, ensures expert analysis and appeal for fans.

The collaboration with CBS reporters on the course will enrich the coverage, offering a more complete and dynamic experience.

In addition to the main coverage, Prime Video will launch a special alternate feed called 'Inside Amen Corner,' dedicated to holes 11-13 during all four rounds. This feed, similar to 'Prime Vision' used on 'Thursday Night Football,' will use data and statistics to offer a more immersive experience.

Justin Kutcher, Geoff Ogilvy, Smylie Kaufman, and John Wood will be in charge of analyzing the action in 'Inside Amen Corner,' providing an in-depth and detailed view of the key moments of the tournament.

The 'Inside Amen Corner' feed will be available from approximately 10:45 a.m. to 6 p.m. ET during the first two rounds, and from 11:45 a.m. to 6 p.m. ET during the third and final rounds. Prime Video will also stream featured groups and featured holes (15 and 16) throughout the Masters.

These additional feeds will be available on Masters.com, the app, Paramount+, and ESPN+, expanding the reach and accessibility of the coverage for fans.

CBS, responsible for producing all Masters coverage, ensures the quality and consistency of the broadcast across all platforms. This includes Amazon's and ESPN's coverage, ensuring a uniform and high-quality viewing experience for viewers.

This collaboration underlines the importance of joint production in covering major sporting events.
