The 73rd edition of The Masters Golf Tournament kicks off today in Augusta, Georgia. It’s a big deal as usual, especially since Tiger Woods is back after taking some time off to heal from surgery. Greg Norman, aka “The Shark,” is back to play as well, and is looking to win his first Masters—he’s come really close a couple times. Things should wrap up Sunday, weather permitting, where the winner will get the coveted green jacket and a huge check—last year’s was over $7 million.
If you’re lucky enough to be viewing the tournament in person this year, then make sure you get over to Apple’s App Store before you depart. The Masters Golf Tournament App is available now and is totally free, but even if they charged for it, we’d still probably recommend it. You’ll be able to pull video clips right to your iPhone, and even watch some limited live coverage. If you’re taking in the scene at one hole, you’ll easily be able to see what’s happening on the other side of the course.
Even if you’re stuck in the office for the opening rounds, it’s still a solid pick. You can view flyovers to see the layout of each hole, and there’s a live leaderboard so you don’t have to check ESPN every couple of minutes while avoiding the boss. Just be careful when you try to sneak your iPhone out during Easter Sunday services to get an update, you don’t want your favorite toy to be taken away.
