The most wonderful time of the golf season has arrived as the beauty of April surrounds Augusta National Golf Club. The 2026 Masters is set for another star-studded affair with an absolutely loaded 91-man field featuring the best golfers in the world all attempting to conquer the season's first major championship and 90th edition of "a tradition unlike any other."

Rory McIlroy enters the Masters in a unique position as defending champion, seeking to become the first golfer since Tiger Woods (2001-02) to win consecutive green jackets. Scottie Scheffler has not been playing his best golf this year, but he's nevertheless seeking his third Masters championship in five attempts. Should the world No. 1 succeed, he would be the first since Woods (2001-02, 2005) to achieve that feat.

While Tiger will miss the Masters for the sixth time in the last 13 playings of the year's first major, he's not alone in being absent from the field. Phil Mickelson announced that he will not travel to Augusta, Georgia, due to an ongoing personal issue, marking the first time since 1994 that neither he nor Woods will tee off at Augusta National.

The remainder of the field is stocked to the brim with talented golfers, including Bryson DeChambeau, Jon Rahm, Xander Schauffele, Collin Morikawa, Tommy Fleetwood and 26-year-old phenom Ludvig Åberg. That's simply a short list of the top names hoping to make the 72-hole trek across Augusta National through the weekend.

Masters picks and expert predictions have been filed, the field has been trimmed to the nine most likely green jacket winners before ceremonial tee shots ring out Thursday morning, and a strong selection of debutants make it possible that there might be some history achieved that has not been seen in more than 50 years at Augusta National.

While attending the Masters is a dream for many, simply being able to watch golf on the grandest stage of them all is an incredible treat each year, and we here at CBS Sports are thrilled to bring you wall-to-wall coverage of the Masters throughout this week.

For the 71st consecutive year, CBS Sports offers extensive, week-long coverage across all its platforms with its traditional 18-hole broadcast beginning with the third round on Saturday and final-round action on Sunday. Paramount+ will feature two additional hours of coverage each on Saturday and Sunday before the primary broadcasts begin.

Jim Nantz, in his 41st straight year covering the Masters, serves as host for the 39th time. 2008 Masters champion Trevor Immelman joins Nantz as the lead analyst at the Masters for the fourth consecutive year. Nantz and Immelman link up with CBS Sports' incredible golf team, including on-course reporter Dottie Pepper, Colt Knost, Frank Nobilo, Andrew Catalon and Amanda Balionis.

Beyond what you will see on television, Masters Live complementary coverage will feature full-day streaming live across Paramount+ and CBS Sports digital platforms. Masters coverage will cross four channels, including Featured Groups, Amen Corner, Holes 15 & 16 and Masters on the Range.

Enough talking about it. Here's how you can watch as much Masters as possible throughout the week. Be sure to stick with CBS Sports for live coverage throughout and download the CBS Sports app to watch Masters Live on your mobile devices.
