Sky To Telecast Master Golf Tournament Along with BBC

Sky has managed put an end to BBC’s exclusivity towards telecasting the Masters golf tournament. From the past 24 years BBC was the only channel having the sole rights but now Sky will be sharing it as well.

2011 onwards Sky will be telecasting the prestigious golf tournament. Sky’s sports channels will telecast the live coverage of the opening 2 rounds. BBC will share the coverage of the final 2 rounds with Sky. This would make Sky sports the place to watch all the four days of the Masters cup live. BBC though still has the exclusive rights of the radio and online telecast rights of the tournament.

The best part is the golf fans would enjoy the tournament in 3D. Sky’s 3D channel is slated for launch on October, 1, 2010 and after its launch Sky will have a lot to offer to the 3D TV lovers.
