Great news for golf fanatics like myself. DIRECTV is expected to formally announce Wednesday that it will debut a Masters Mix Channel for all four rounds of play. It will include one channel devoted to Augusta's so-called Amen Corner — holes 11, 12 and 13 — and one devoted to holes 15 and 16. Each of those two will have their own dedicated cameras and announcers.
DirecTV will also offer another channel devoted to tournament highlights, and one carrying ESPN's live coverage of The Masters' first two rounds and then CBS' coverage of the final two rounds. For viewers with the necessary home equipment, all four channels will be viewable simultaneously.
DIRECTV says the Masters Mix will be free this year — and stay that way. Enjoy golf fans! If you haven't seen the Masters in High Definition, I think you will be thrilled when you do. It's amazing.
