Masters week on SiriusXM programming is available to subscribers nationwide on SiriusXM radios (Sirius channel 208, XM channel 92), and those with streaming access can listen online, on-the-go with the SiriusXM app and at home on a wide variety of connected devices, including smart TVs, Amazon Alexa devices, Apple TV, PlayStation, Roku, Sonos speakers, and more.

SiriusXM will present a pair of Masters history specials that will feature rare audio from Augusta National’s exclusive archives.
A Masters History: Anniversary Special highlights the 50th and 25th anniversaries of the 1968 and 1993 Masters. 1968 champion Bob Goalby sits down to look back on his final round 66 to tie Roberto De Vicenzo at 11-under. Before they could compete in an 18-hole playoff to decide the winner, however, it was discovered that De Vicenzo had signed an incorrect scorecard, resulting in a disqualification for De Vicenzo and a green jacket for Goalby. Bernhard Langer recaps his second Masters victory in 1993, and his skillful second nine play on Sunday to pull away from the field. Sergio Garcia is also interviewed and discusses last year’s Masters win and his first major victory.
With Tiger Woods set to return to Augusta National, Masters History: Tiger at Augusta examines Tiger’s four Masters victories (1997, 2001, 2002, and 2005) with commentary from former coach Hank Haney.
“The Masters is always a very special week on the sports calendar, and we are committed to giving our listeners unsurpassed programming and access every year,” said Scott Greenstein, SiriusXM’s President and Chief Content Officer. “Fans get excellent coverage of the players set to play in this year’s Masters coupled with the extraordinary perspective from our hosts and past champions who know what it takes to compete and win at Augusta National, plus specials that highlight some of the most memorable tournaments of the past.”
