There’s one network that televises all the magic of the Masters from Augusta National Golf Club. Although CBS has traditionally been the broadcaster of the world-class Masters competition, you can still catch all the live action through Paramount Plus, a modern version of CBS All Access.
Paramount Plus is now the number one streaming platform to watch the world’s best golfers chase down the illustrious green blazer of the Masters. Paramount Plus will provide all the great commentary from the renowned Billy Kratzer, Shane Bacon, and Brian Crowell.
To catch all the action, latest news, highlights, and everything there is to know about the coveted Masters tournament, it’s best to sign up for a Paramount Plus subscription. Even if you aren’t interested in the Masters, Paramount Plus offers over 40 000 shows in its library.
There are several ways that one can watch the Masters, not only on Paramount Plus. Below we have included more details about the options that we recommend.
Paramount Plus App
The original CBS All Access is now known as Paramount Plus. This network has created an app that gives you access to all the classic CBS originals, as well as live streaming of sporting events and local CBS Channels.
To get access to the on-demand library and all the CBS originals, you will first need to download the Paramount Plus app on your device. The Paramount Plus app is free to download from your device’s app store. However, access is restricted to the U.S.A.
Once you have downloaded the Paramount Plus app, you’ll need to subscribe to one of their plans, and either pay a monthly or annual fee. You can also add Paramount Plus to your Amazon Prime Video account.
Paramount Plus’s Essential Plan is the cheapest subscription plan available from just $5 USD per month, or $50 USD per year. This plan has access to the on-demand library, local CBS channels, and selected live sports but is subject to commercial interruptions.
The Premium Plan costs $10 USD per month or $100 USD per year. With this plan, you’ll have access to the on-demand library, live local CBS channels, and live sports streams. There are no commercial interruptions on this plan, so you’ll be able to watch the Masters without any advertisement breaks.
First-time subscribers that sign up with Paramount Plus will have access to a 7-day free trial period. Canceling your subscription within the 7-day period is free (there are no additional cancellation costs). An added bonus is that there are no contracts, so subscribers are able to cancel their subscription at any time.
The Paramount Plus app comes with some amazing features, such as allowing three devices to simultaneously connect to one account. You’ll be able to share your account with your friends and family, so everyone can be enthralled by the Masters tournament and all its action.
Unfortunately, there is no cloud DVR storage, so you won’t be able to record any of the Masters action on the Paramount Plus app. However, there is an offline mode that gives subscribers the option to download shows to watch later, and no data is needed.
In addition, there’s the option to access a bigger selection of movies and local series when you add Showtime to your Paramount Plus subscription. This will cost $12 USD per month, and the commercial-free version will cost $15 USD per month.
The Masters at Augusta National Golf Club is the drawcard of the year. The best part is that with your Paramount Plus subscription, you’ll be able to stream all the best putts, dreaded bunker shots, and hole-in-ones while you are on the go!
You’ll also be able to catch all the Masters action on your desktop or laptop through the Paramount Plus website.
The Paramount Plus app is compatible with Amazon Fire Stick, Amazon Fire TV, Smart TVs, Vizio, Xbox One, Playstation, Roku TV, Google Chromecast, and Android and iOS devices.
Amazon Prime Video / Paramount Plus
Besides downloading the Paramount Plus app, you can always add Paramount Plus to an additional streaming platform, such as Amazon Prime Video.
Amazon Prime Video is a streaming service that allows its subscribers to choose the channels they would like to watch. Unlike most streaming services that offer a selected amount of channels on a plan, with Amazon Prime Video, you will need to add channels to your subscription.
Amazon Prime Video is free for Amazon Prime subscribers, while non-Prime subscribers can still access Amazon Prime Video but will be required to pay a monthly fee. Amazon Prime Video costs $8.99 USD per month and includes access to over 30 000 videos for free.
Paramount Plus is available on Amazon Prime Video and can be added to your Amazon Prime Video account for $5.99 USD per month. If you subscribe to Paramount Plus on Amazon Prime Video, you’ll activate a 7-day free trial period, after which your account will be instantly charged.
Current Amazon Prime holders can access every moment of the Masters with an additional $5.99 USD (monthly) Paramount Plus subscription. There’s no need to download the Paramount Plus app. Simply log in to your Amazon Prime Video account and select the Paramount Plus subscription.
Amazon Prime Video can be downloaded on multiple devices. Three devices can log in to one account using the same credentials. However, only two of these devices can stream content simultaneously.
A new feature of the Amazon Prime Video account allows subscribers to pause and rewind parts of live-streamed events. There is also a new feature that allows Amazon subscribers to record live-streaming events.
Amazon Prime Video is compatible with Android and iOS devices, Roku TV, Smart TVs, Playstation, Xbox, Amazon Fire Stick, Echo Show, and Amazon Fire TV.
Apple TV 4K / Apple TV / Paramount Plus
Do you have a non-smart TV and want to watch the Masters action as it unfolds on Paramount Plus? You can achieve this by purchasing an Apple TV 4K smart device for your television.
The Apple TV 4K is a smart box that turns any TV with an HDMI port into a Smart TV. The smart device comes with the Apple TV App from which you can download apps that you want on your TV.
Apple TV comes free for the first three (3) months on any Apple device, including the smart box, but thereafter you will be charged $4.99 USD per month.
Paramount Plus is available for download on Apple TV. You’ll first need to download the Paramount Plus app onto your TV and subscribe to a monthly subscription for $9.99 USD per month.
Once you have subscribed to the Paramount Plus app, you’ll receive a 7-day free trial period, so you’ll be able to watch the Masters for free.
Should you cancel your subscription within the 7-day trial period, you won’t be charged any fees. Any subscriptions that aren’t canceled within this time will automatically be charged the monthly subscription fee.
Roku device / Paramount Plus
The Roku device is similar to the Apple TV 4K device in that it is a small streaming box that connects to your TV through the HDMI port. The Roku device allows you to stream onto your TV, regardless of if you have a Smart TV or not.
Owners of a Roku device can watch the Masters golf tournament by subscribing to the Paramount Plus app on the Roku channel.
There are two Paramount Plus options available for you to choose from, namely, the Essential plan, which will cost you $4.99 USD per month, and the Premium plan, which will cost you $9.99 USD per month.
Existing Paramount Plus subscribers will just have to download the app using their Roku device and log in by entering their credentials.
Amazon Fire Device / Paramount Plus
If you want to watch the Masters on Paramount Plus, but you don’t have a Smart TV, you’re still able to access Paramount Plus through a smart box device. Amazon’s Fire devices will connect to your TV via your HDMI port and allow you to download the Paramount Plus app from Amazon.
Once you have downloaded the app onto your Amazon Fire device, you’ll simply be required to sign up and register for a Paramount Plus account.
If you already have a subscription, all you will need to do is log in using your credentials. You’ll be able to start streaming all the golfing glory from the Masters 2023 tournament at Augusta National Golf Club.
Walmart Plus / Paramount Plus
Paramount Plus is available for free with a Walmart Plus subscription. Walmart Plus is similar to Amazon Prime in that it’s a subscription service that costs $12.95 USD per month or $98 USD per year.
Subscribers to Walmart Plus will receive unlimited access to Paramount Plus’s Essential plan, which includes live streaming of sports events and access to thousands of movies and shows in the on-demand libraries.
Use a VPN / Paramount Plus
Golf fans from around the world that would like to access the Masters on Paramount Plus will be blocked from accessing the app due to geo-blocking. The Paramount Plus app is restricted by copyright agreements which means that it only provides access to subscribers in the U.S.A, while some channels are extended to Canada.
However, if you are currently subscribed to a Paramount Plus account, but are located in a foreign country, you can still stream the Masters from your device with the help of a VPN. A VPN is a Virtual Private Network that hides or alters your IP address, allowing you to maneuver around geo-restrictions.
You’ll first need to download a VPN onto your router, depending on what device you have. Once you have successfully downloaded a reputable VPN, you’ll need to install and configure your device. The VPN will then allow you to connect to a server in the U.S.A.
When you have successfully connected to a server based in the U.S.A., you will be able to download the Paramount Plus app onto your device and log in by entering your credentials. Should the app not work, try using a different server and clearing your cache and download history on your device.
Our team tested the best-selling VPNs in Canada based on different metrics like speed, streaming quality and pricing. To get the best streaming experience, we highly recommend signing up on CyberGhost.
Conclusion
Whether you live in the United States of America or Canada, the Masters 2023 Golf Tournament hosted at the Augusta National Golf Club will be available for streaming on the Paramount Plus app.
Subscribers can access the app by downloading the app onto their device or by subscribing to the app on Amazon Prime Video and other sites.’
Although streaming the Masters Golf tournament may seem difficult if you don’t reside in the U.S.A, it is indeed possible when you download a VPN onto your device first before downloading the Paramount Plus App.
