Masters Golf Tournament: Watch it live online when golfers do it on the green
Every April, golf’s most storied week arrives: the Masters at Augusta National. It is the first men’s major of the year and the only one played on the same course every time — which is why even casual fans know Amen Corner, the azaleas and the Green Jacket. For golf lovers, the Masters is what a Grand Slam final is to tennis fans: the one event of the season you simply do not miss.
Tickets to Augusta are famously among the hardest in sport to obtain, so for almost everyone the Masters is a television and streaming event. And that is where many fans hit a wall: the tournament’s streams are geo-restricted, and the coverage you count on at home disappears the moment you are in another country. Here is how to watch the Masters golf tournament live online from anywhere, with Le VPN.
Why Masters streams are geo-blocked
Broadcast rights for the Masters are licensed country by country — CBS and ESPN platforms carry it in the United States alongside the tournament’s own excellent Masters.com streams, Sky Sports covers the UK, and other markets have their own broadcasters. Each service verifies your location from your IP address before playing video. Outside its licensed territory, you get an error message instead of Amen Corner.
That leaves travelling fans locked out of subscriptions they already pay for, and expats stuck with whatever coverage — and commentary — their current country offers, if any.
The solution: change your virtual location
A VPN (virtual private network) routes your internet connection through an encrypted tunnel to a server in the country of your choice. Streaming services see the VPN server’s IP address rather than your real one, so the geo-check passes and the coverage plays. With Le VPN, you can pick from servers in 100+ locations across the Americas, Europe, the Middle East, Asia-Pacific and Africa — including multiple US and UK options.
There is no fuss or complicated setup:
- Sign up for Le VPN on the plans page. Your first purchase is covered by a 30-day money-back guarantee.
- Download and install the app — Windows, macOS, iOS and Android are all supported, and one account allows up to 5 simultaneous connections.
- Connect to the right country — the US for American coverage, the UK for Sky Sports, or wherever your subscription lives. Browse the full server list.
- Confirm your new location on the IP address test page.
- Open the stream and settle in for four days of Augusta.
Making the most of Masters week
Thursday to Sunday, morning to dusk. The Masters runs on US Eastern Time, with the leaders teeing off in the afternoon and finishing toward evening. European viewers get comfortable prime-time golf; fans in Asia and Australia may prefer the full replays and featured-group re-runs — which the same VPN connection unlocks.
Choose your coverage. One of the joys of the Masters is the depth of its digital coverage: featured groups, famous holes and dedicated streams alongside the main broadcast. Connect to the country whose platform offers the view you want.
Use a fast protocol. Le VPN supports OpenVPN, WireGuard, Stealth WireGuard and IPSec/IKEv2. WireGuard delivers the smooth, high-bitrate streaming that does justice to Augusta in HD. In countries that restrict VPN connections themselves, Stealth WireGuard's obfuscation gets you connected.
The advantages you get with Le VPN
- Enhanced security: your entire connection is encrypted with strong AES-256 encryption, so there is no risk of snooping or data interception while you stream — especially on hotel and public Wi-Fi.
- A world of sport: the same subscription unlocks globally broadcast events and tournaments year-round — golf's other majors, tennis Grand Slams, football and more — from whichever country covers them best.
- Greater privacy: your real IP address stays hidden, and your browsing habits stay your own, at home and abroad.
- Every device covered: laptop, phone and tablet apps, plus SmartDNS for smart TVs and consoles where an app is impractical.
The most important shot in golf, as the saying goes, is the next one — and at the Masters, the next one might be the shot people talk about for decades. Don’t hear about it second-hand. Subscribe to Le VPN and watch the Masters golf tournament live online, wherever in the world April finds you.
