Prime Video enters the Masters broadcast scene like a hungry newcomer with something to prove. The platform brings a modern, data‑driven style that challenges the long‑established broadcast giants. Amazon loads its coverage with recognizable golf voices, advanced analytics, and fresh camera angles, giving fans a new way to experience Augusta National.
Prime Video’s early coverage runs from 1 to 3 p.m., and the team treats this debut like a major moment. Terry Gannon hosts the main coverage from Butler Cabin while Justin Kutcher leads the Inside Amen Corner feed with Geoff Ogilvy, John Wood, and Smylie Kaufman. They break down strategy, trace ball flights, and highlight scoring zones in real time. Amazon also introduces new highlight tools, such as Rapid Recap and Key Moments, that let viewers jump straight to the action they want.
