Spring means warmer weather, but it also signals a special time of year for sports fans. Fans are enjoying opening week in Major League Baseball as well as both NCAA Tournaments, and they're set to indulge in golf's most prestigious event later this month.
The Masters will return for its 89th edition on April 10, and fans are eager to find out where and how they'll be able to watch. In recent years, CBS and ESPN have split coverage of the event.
ESPN takes the first two rounds and the par three event, while CBS will take over for the weekend - including the final round and the presentation of the iconic green jacket.
CBS has announced its coverage plans, as the network is excited to broadcast the tournament for the 70th consecutive year.

Coverage will begin on Paramount+ at Noon on Saturday April 12, and CBS will pick up the feed at 2 PM ET. Coverage will last through 7 PM on both television and streaming.
Sunday will follow the same schedule. The tournament will likely be end as the sun begins to set in Georgia, providing a scenic backdrop for the winner to take the iconic coronation photo.
Scottie Scheffler won last year's event, making him a Masters champion for the second time in three years. Scheffler is the world's No. 1 player and will be a favorite to repeat.
No golfer has won the green jacket in back to back years since Tiger Woods accomplished the feat in 2001 and 2002. Woods won't be playing in this year's event due to an Achilles injury, preventing the legendary golfer from winning another major championship.
Woods' victory in 2019 was one of the signature moments in Masters history, and he's been responsible for several of those legendary moments throughout his career.
We'll see if Scheffler can join the exclusive club of three-time winners this year at Augusta. Only five players in history have won the Masters exactly three times: Jimmy Demaret, Sam Snead, Gary Player, Nick Faldo and Phil Mickelson.
Arnold Palmer has the third-most Masters victories with four, and Woods is in second place with five. Jack Nicklaus won the event an astonishing six times in his career, including a 23-year gap between his first green jacket and his last.
