Are you at work complaining because you can’t watch the early round coverage of The Masters? Get on your phone, download the Masters app and relax. Honestly, I can’t believe you don’t already have the app, but some of you are behind the times.
The rest of us are multitasking this morning. We’re watching on the app, busting out the work that pays the bills and hoping to hear some Masters piano music to give us chills.
For those of you who’ve been using the app the last few years, our friends @IBMSports sent word that there’s plenty of new toys to keep you busy while at work.
