How To Watch The Masters 2021 Online In The U.S.

Like the entire PGA Tour, 2021 Masters tournament will be streamable on ESPN+. There is no longer a free trial with ESPN+, but a $6 monthly subscription gives you unlimited access to live sports and tournament coverage plus tons of sports documentaries, news, and commentaries. You can save 15% on a $60 annual subscription, but if you only want to watch the Masters, cancel after the winner walks away with the jacket. You can cancel an ESPN+ subscription at any time. If sports draw most of your attention but you want additional streamed content, you can subscribe to ESPN+, Hulu, and Disney+ all for $14 a month.

Hulu + Live TV is another choice for streaming the 2021 Masters as well as the rest of the PGA Tour. You get a one-week free trial with a Hulu + Live TV subscription, but if you don’t cancel before the trial period ends the monthly $65 charge kicks in.

To watch the 2021 Masters Tournament on the cheap, you can also signup for a FuboTV streaming bundle  and cancel before the 7-day free trial ends. FuboTV bundles start at $65 a month for a package of more than 100 channels including sports channels worldwide. If you do decide to stick around after the free trial — or you forget to cancel early — you can quit easily. FuboTV doesn’t have contracts so you can go month by month.

Another option is to subscribe to Paramount+ streaming plan (formerly CBS All Access). Paramount + costs $6 per month and also offers a free 7-day trial when you sign up. You can save 15% with a CBS All Access annual plan. Like ESPN+ and FuboTV, you can cancel at any time.

Johnson won’t be the only player gunning for this year’s Master’s jacket. Other top pros on the hunt this year include Justin Thomas, Jordan Spieth and Jon Rahm.

What to expect at the Scottish Open — without looking too far ahead with The Open around the corner
The Scottish Open returns to The Renaissance Club, just outside of Edinburgh.
Field, Nature, Outdoors

The Genesis Scottish Open is here. It feels like a major tournament. Keyword, feels. The actual major tournament, The Open, golf's oldest tournament, is scheduled next week. But the field in Scotland is not treating the Scottish Open like a tune-up to The Open. If nothing else, the field at the Renaissance Club is excited about the mix of players scheduled to hit the links.

While, yes, PGA Tour players like Rory McIlroy and Scottie Scheffler are expected this weekend, fans should also expect to see, yes, LIV Tour players. That's because the Scottish Open is co-sanctioned by the PGA and European Tours. So, while the PGA Tour banned players who defected to play with LIV some four years ago, the European Tour has allowed them to play at its events.

Cape Verde’s miraculous run is what FIFA World Cup is all about
It's easy to see why almost everyone was rooting for Cape Verde in the World Cup.
Cape Verde World Cup team

I'm here in Mexico City for the summer, and watching World Cup games with such a rabid fan base has been nothing short of spectacular. Every game is hyped. Every bar and restaurant has rows of TVs with the volume turned all the way up, and everyone's having a blast drinking chelas (beer for the non-Spanish-speaking folks) while watching the intensity of it all. For group play, I've been watching from the comfort of my sofa. But after watching Mexico dominate in group play, I was determined to watch as many knockout games as possible at a packed bar to breathe the atmosphere.

And I'm so glad that I did.

Novak Djokovic now holds the all-time record for most men’s singles match wins at Wimbledon
Djokovic persevered in a grueling match to accomplish the feat.

The king of the most revered grass court in the world is no longer Roger Federer. The crown now belongs to one Novak Djokovic, who needed every bit of grit and moxie to stake his claim as the all-time men's singles match winner at Wimbledon.

To get there, Serbian superstar and 7th seed had to dig deep to persevere against world No. 132 Roman Safiullin, who endeared himself to tennis fans by stretching the Centre Court match to extra sets on Sunday. It was no easy task, to say the least. Djokovic looked visibly frustrated throughout the match. At one point, Djokovic let out an audible obscenity, which triggered a warning from the umpire. He also uncharacteristically double-faulted, which might have been the result of vision problems on the court.
