However, .there will be only two days of live coverage on free-to-air television.

The new deal only includes extensive TV highlights of the opening two rounds of the Tournament, with live TV coverage restricted to the decisive Saturday and Sunday rounds.

All four rounds will be shown live on Sky Sports.

Radio 5 live and Radio 5 live sports extra will also feature live commentary of all four days from Augusta National Golf Club.
