Live From Augusta National: The Masters Via The iPad
April 4, 2012
Nothing signifies spring in the U.S. better than The Masters golf tournament, which begins tomorrow and runs through Sunday. Now you can experience the first of the four “majors” of the year, right from your iPad. The Official Masters Tournament app is now available. Best of all, the app, which provides live streaming, is absolutely free.
Created by Augusta National, Inc., The Official Masters Tournament app is the perfect complement to one of golf’s most significant competitions. It serves both as a guide to this year’s event, as well as a historical record of past tournaments.
Following a brief video introduction to Augusta National, live video streaming welcomes visitors. For the entire tournament, this means play at Amen Corner (Hole Nos. 11, 12, and 13) and holes Nos. 15 and 16.
On Saturday and Sunday, visitors are greeted by CBS’ live simulcast, guaranteeing nothing is missed.
Each video is displayed in full-screen, HD-quality, and viewable with 3G/4G and Wi-Fi connections.
Other tournament selections include an exclusive live Leader Board, featuring up-to-the-minute scoring and video highlights of the greatest moments on the course. Plus Pairings, a round by round view of each day’s pairings that include player shots and tee times.
The Official Masters Tournament app also includes a course overview (with flyover videos) of each hole, and an interactive timeline going back to 1931, which includes archival films and photos of the most significant milestones in Masters history.
All right golf fans, time to download The Official Masters Tournament app now in the App Store.
