Questions have been raised about whether Jeff Bezos, the founder of Amazon, is a member of Augusta National Golf Club, especially now that Amazon’s Prime Video is set to begin broadcasting parts of the Masters Tournament. According to multiple reliable sources, he is not a member. Instead, the membership has gone to Andy Jassy, who took over as Amazon CEO from Bezos in 2021. Reports from outlets such as Sports Business Journal and Golf.com list Jassy among the club’s newest members, along with others like Eli Manning and CBS executive Sean McManus, as of late 2024.

Augusta National doesn’t publicly confirm its membership rolls. Still, the timing is noteworthy: shortly after news of Jassy’s reported membership, the club announced that Prime Video will stream live coverage of the Masters Tournament’s first two rounds starting in April 2026. This partnership gives Amazon its first broadcast windows for an event steeped in tradition.
Here’s a breakdown of what that deal involves and why it’s significant:
Prime Video will air a two-hour live streaming slot each day on Thursday and Friday during the first two rounds of the Masters. This adds early-round coverage beyond that already provided by established broadcasters.
Existing broadcast partners like ESPN and CBS will continue their roles—ESPN covers early rounds in other slots, and CBS handles weekend coverage.
Augusta National’s chairman, Fred Ridley, described the Amazon deal as an opportunity to broaden how the Masters is delivered to fans while maintaining its long-standing relationships with ESPN and CBS.
In sum: Jeff Bezos is not in the membership of Augusta National—Andy Jassy is. And the Masters’ move to include Amazon in its media coverage marks a notable evolution in how the tournament is shared with audiences, balancing tradition and streaming expansion.
