Rory McIlroy’s bid to join the exclusive club of back-to-back Masters champions begins this week as the first major competition of the 2026 golf season tees off at Augusta National Golf Club.

The star finally claimed the elusive green jacket last year in his 17th attempt to win golf’s most prestigious tournament. His deciding win over Justin Rose also completed the 36-year-old’s career Grand Slam title and ended an 11-year title drought.

McIlroy will now look to win his second consecutive Masters title, matching a feat achieved only by Tiger Woods, Nick Faldo and Jack Nicklaus.

Leading the betting on this year’s tournament is world number one Scottie Scheffler, while LIV golf duo Bryson DeChambeau and 2023 champion Jon Rahm are also strong favorites to claim the winner’s purse of $3.6 million.

ESPN’s streaming platforms have been shaken up in recent months. The sports network now offers two tiers with its direct-to-consumer setup: ESPN Select and ESPN Unlimited. If you want full access to ESPN’s networks and services, such as ESPN, ESPN2, ESPN3, ESPNNews, and ESPN Deportes, plus all ESPN Select content, ESPN Unlimited is the perfect solution. It costs $30 per month.

Paramount Plus has two main subscription plans in the US: Essential for $9 per month and Premium Plus for $14 per month. Both offer coverage for Masters.
