As is often the case, DirecTV customers will have enhanced viewing options available. Beginning with the first round on April 9, DirecTV will unveil The Masters Experience free of charge to all subscribers on Channels 701-705. Enhancements include a four-channel split screen, with non-stop coverage from well known Augusta locales like the Amen Corner. Interactive features like live scoreboards and on-demand highlights are also available. If you're a golf nut with DirecTV, Thursday and Friday are definitely days you'll want to call in sick (cough, cough).
