David Rumsey, who covers golf at Front Office Sports, released the Masters broadcast crew with an X post.
The 2026 Masters field features the world’s top golfers, including defending champion Rory McIlroy. As a result of his 2025 victory, McIlroy completed the career Grand Slam. Additionally, Scottie Scheffler, Brooks Koepka, Bryson DeChambeau and Xander Schauffele are in the field.
On April 11 and 12, Paramount+ will begin Masters coverage at noon ET with CBS joining in from 2 p.m. to 7 p.m. ET each day, according to CBS Sports PR.
The main coverage broadcast team on CBS also includes former PGA Tour pros Frank Nobilo and Colt Knost, former LPGA star Dottie Pepper, Andrew Catalon and Amanda Balionis. In fact, Knost will make his first appearance on CBS’ main coverage team at the Masters.
