The new agreement, negotiated with the Augusta National Golf Club, ensures that coverage of the Masters will be available exclusively on the BBC for another year, up to and including 2007.
BBC coverage will offer all the available live action on television and radio across all four days of play, as well as news and updates on radio and on the bbc.co.uk website.
Dominic Coles, BBC Director of Sports Rights and Finance, said: “Next year will be the BBC’s 40th anniversary of its coverage of the Masters and we are delighted to be able to extend such a valued partnership. With this new deal, and our continuing commitment to the Open, BBC SPORT will continue to bring the very best in world golf to the widest possible audiences.”
