CBS Sports’ Bill Macatee, who is part of the Network’s Masters broadcast team for the 29th year, serves as Executive Producer and Co-Writer, as well as host for the three specials.

 

THE MASTERS: GREATEST RIVALRIES is the story of golf’s greatest rivalries and how they played out on the fairways and greens of the Augusta National Golf Club. From Hogan, Nelson and Sneed to Jack, Arnie and Gary, through Tiger and Phil all the way up to the present; the game’s most legendary players have brought out the best in each other and helped define their legacies at The Masters.

 

THE MASTERS: FANTASTIC FINISHES highlights many of golf’s most memorable finishes that have taken place on Masters Sunday. Moments that can define a player’s career and cement their place in golfing history.  This one hour CBS Sports special takes viewers back to re-live some of those remarkable Sundays.  From Gene Sarazen’s personal account of the ”Shot Heard ‘Round The World” in 1935 all the way through Sergio Garcia’s insights into his stunning Green Jacket victory a year ago; these are the finishes that have made The Masters golf’s greatest and most anticipated event.

 

THE MASTERS: SERGIO! is a look at the unique and inspiring, personal journey of reigning Masters Champion Sergio Garcia.  From a golfing prodigy growing up in Spain, to that memorable Sunday last April, the personal and professional evolution of Garcia has been nothing short of remarkable.  Sergio tells his story in this compelling CBS Sports special.  

 

THE MASTERS: GREATEST RIVALRIES, THE MASTERS: FANTASTIC FINISHES and THE MASTERS: SERGIO! are produced by Halo X Media. CBS Sports’ Bryan Kosowski and Andy Freedman serve as coordinating producer for the respective shows.
