THE 2018 US Masters is upon us and this year Aussie golf fans will be able to watch free to air live TV coverage on the Nine network while those with pay TV will have the usual smorgasbord of coverage on Fox Sports.
Aussie representatives Jason Day, Adam Scott, Marc Leishman and Cameron Smith will be part of the 87 golfer field in a year that promises much.
With the big names including Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy, Phil Mickelson and Justin Rose showing some great form it could be a very special Masters edition.
