The Tiger is coming to Nine’s Wide World of Sports…
The world’s best golfer Tiger Woods is coming to Australia for the Australian Masters which can be credited for the rejuvenation of the Australian Golfing industry (if that’s what you can call it). Enormous interest and hype has been surrounding this tournament and live coverage will screen across the Nine Network from November 12.
Geoff Ogilvy heads the strong lineup of Australians who face the daunting challenge of stopping Woods from claiming yet another tournament. They include Stuart Appleby, Aaron Baddeley, Adam Scott, Nathan Green, Richard Green, Mathew Goggin, Marc Leishman, Craig Parry, Michael Sim, John Senden, and defending Masters champion, Rod Pampling.
In what seems like preparation for the cricket season, Nine’s Wide World of Sports will broadcast from Kingston Heath Golf Course for the four days of the Masters. The coverage will be hosted by Eddie McGuire. Joining him exclusively on camera will be two of the world’s leading golf commentators, Ian Baker-Finch and Jack Newton. Sitting alongside them in the commentary box will be Mark Nicholas, Brett Ogle and Warren Smith.
Out on the course and in the clubhouse, Lucas Parsons and Ian Healy will bring viewers all the big name interviews on each day’s play. Meanwhile Nathan Thompson will be roving around Kingston Heath to capture the colour and excitement of the Masters.
The Today show will also broadcast live from Kingston Heath on the opening day and day two, featuring live interviews and play.
