The green jacket, Amen Corner, “patrons”… and Tiger Woods! The Masters is golf’s pinnacle, and this year’s edition promises to be especially fascinating, with so many of the sport’s heavyweights feeling the pressure from the underdogs. Read on as we explain how to watch a 2022 Masters live stream online from anywhere in the world, with or without cable – including ways to watch the golf absolutely FREE.
Of course, it’s the will-he-won’t-he storyline that’s captured most fans’ hearts, with five-time winner Woods gearing up for what would be a comeback that would be as sensational as it was unexpected, just over a year after breaking both of his legs in a serious car crash.
But there’s also a huge question mark hanging over the head of reigning champion Hideki Matsuyama, whose persistent back and neck injuries have hampered his form and forced his withdrawal from several recent tournaments.
The bewilderment that greeted Scottie Scheffler’s ascent to world No.1 will provide plenty of motivation for the American, while 2022’s breakout star Cameron Smith could eclipse the superstars once again, having already shot to success at the Tournament of Champions and the Players Championship this year and with Aussie viewers being treated to a free Masters stream thanks to the Nine Network.
And whisper it, but can Rory McIlroy finally complete a career Grand Slam at the seventh attempt? Follow our guide as we explain how to watch a Masters live stream online, so that you won’t miss a moment from Augusta National.
Where to live stream Masters 2022 golf for FREE
Golf fans in Australia are among the luckiest in the world, as the entirety of the 2022 Masters is being shown on 9Gem, which is FREE to watch.
That means you can also fire up a Masters live stream on the 9Now streaming service (opens in new tab), which is completely free to use too, and compatible with laptops, tablets, mobiles and an array of streaming services such as Apple TV, Chromecast, Fetch, PlayStation, Amazon Fire and smart TVs.
In the US, it looks as though Masters.com (opens in new tab) and the Masters app will also host a live stream. But if past years are anything to go by, you can expect this stream to be limited to featured groups and holes rather than more comprehensive coverage.

Masters 2022 dates: when is the Masters being played this year?
The tournament tees off on Thursday, April 7, with the fourth and final round set to be played on Sunday, April 10.
Masters 2022: weather forecast for Augusta
Rain definitely has a part to play at the 86th edition of the Masters, with heavy showers forecast on Thursday.
The wet will ease up as we progress through the tournament, with the potential for light rainfall on both Friday and Saturday.
Sunday is expected to be relatively warm and sunny, but all in all it will be a chilly affair.
Who won The Masters last year?
Hideki Matsuyama was a massive outsider before the tournament, but became the first ever Japanese golfer to win a men’s golf major when he shot to glory at Augusta National a year ago.
Unfortunately, there are concerns that he won’t be able to defend his crown, with the 30-year-old enduring an injury-hit year.
Is Tiger Woods playing in The Masters this year?
It’s the question we’re all waiting for an answer to. Nobody really expected Tiger Woods to make an appearance at Augusta National this year, but he’s officially on the scene.
He’s been putting his strength to the test and teasing onlookers, his limp serving as a reminder, as if we needed one, of an all-too-close brush with death a year ago.
Playing through pain is par for the course for Woods, but even if his body can cope with the physical demands of the tournament, will he want to risk his stellar run of making the cut as 21 straight Masters tournament?
How many times has Tiger Woods won The Masters? Who has won the most Masters?
Tiger Woods has won the Masters five times – in 1997, 2001, 2002, 2005 and 2019.
He’s also the youngest ever Masters champion, having been just 21 years and 104 days old when he claimed his first green jacket in 1997.
Only Jack Nicklaus has more Masters titles to his name (six), and the Golden Bear also holds the record for the most majors, with 18. Woods is second, with 15.
