| 1 Comment

XM at the MastersXM is headed to the Augusta National Golf Club for some live play-by play coverage of the Masters golf tournament.

Tiger Woods and returning champion Phil Mickelson are among the top players in contention for the Masters title and the famous green jacket.

The tournament will air on XM's PGA Tour Network (ch 146) starting on Thursday, April 5th from 12-noon to 7pm ET all the way until the Masters ends on Sunday, April 8th. Highlights of each day’s action will air between 7pm and 8pm.

The on-site coverage begins on Tuesday, April 3rd, when a special Masters press conference show will air from 2pm to 8pm. The coverage continues on April 4th from 2pm to 7pm, with a tournament preview and interviews from the Masters' par 3 contest.

XM will have a team of nine broadcasters on the course covering the action. Jim Gray will be positioned at the 18th green to interview players. Jay Randolph, Jr. will host the daily broadcasts and Mark Carnevale will provide analysis from the 18th tower above the green.

...sadly, Marie and crew will probably not be there. Cry
