The best players in golf take on the iconic Augusta National course this week for arguably the sport's most prestigious tournament - read on for your full guide to getting a The Masters 2021 live stream and watch online from anywhere.
The 84th edition of the tournament should see a little bit of normality return to the fairways, with this year's event seeing spectators back on the greens and the event taking place in its regular April slot after last year's tournament was pushed back to the late autumn thanks to the Covid-19 pandemic.
Just five months on from his record-breaking 20-under par win in last year's tournament, Dustin Johnson is being strongly backed to become only the fourth player to win the Masters back-to-back and retain the cherished green jacket.
Elsewhere, Bryson DeChambeau's win at the Arnold Palmer Invitational and his impressive third place finish in the recent The Players Championship sees him marked out as the pre-tournament favorite, while Jordan Spieth's has also made a timely return to form in the run up to this weekend's proceedings.

How to use a VPN to unblock any restrictions
If you're outside of your preferred broadcaster's boundaries, you can use a VPN to unblock any geo-restrictions and live stream the Masters 2021 as if you were right at home. Here's our step-by-step guide on how to do just that.
- VPN - standing for virtual private network - offers security and anomality as you browse online, using set protocols to encrypt your data and make it unreadable to outsiders.
- As a part of that, you can also switch your IP address, which identifies your location.
- Most VPNs offer a list of locations where its servers are based to join. Connecting to them switches your IP to appear as if you're browsing from that country/city. In turn, you can then access content locked to that country.
- When it comes to finding a VPN, you should make sure you find the best one that's suitable for your chosen device, with VPN providers offering compatibility for a ton of devices, including VPN for Mac, VPN for Android smartphones, an iPad VPN, and even a range of fairly nifty free VPNs.
- Once you've made the decision for the most suitable VPN for your device and your means for using a VPN, sign-up and install it.
- To live stream The Masters 2021, all you need to do is select a UK server from its list of available servers and connect. You'll then be able to hop over those geo-restrictions with the likes of Sky and ESPN opening its online gates to you.
- We also want to ensure your money is well spent, so we would recommend going for a VPN that offers a risk free trial. ExpressVPN is one of many providers that has a 30-day money back guarantee.
