How to watch

Whether it plays 4K depends on the model, so check the spec sheet before choosing 4K feeds. Fast golf rewards a wired connection more than a 4K badge. Plans are prepaid and never auto-renew, and you have 7 days to ask for your money back.

What you need for Masters on the LG Smart TV

  • Player: Smarters Player Lite (free)
  • Plan on about 10 Mbps for each HD stream and 25 Mbps for each 4K stream
  • Channels to favorite: CBS and ESPN
  • Plan: from $10.42/month on the 12-month plan, or $24.99 for one month
  • Time: about five minutes, ideally the day before

The setup, in order

  • Pick a plan length, send the order on WhatsApp, and keep the reply open: it holds the server URL, username and password.
  • Open the LG Content Store (labeled Apps on recent webOS versions), search for Smarters Player Lite and install it.
  • In Smarters Player Lite, pick the Xtream Codes or XC API option, then type the server URL, username and password from your WhatsApp message. All three are case-sensitive.
  • Open the Sports group and add CBS and ESPN to favorites.
  • Play one of those channels for a few minutes well before the first tee time to confirm the picture is steady.

Picture settings that matter

On LG TVs, TruMotion controls motion smoothing. Try the Sports picture mode for golf, then go back to Standard if skin tones look off; lower TruMotion if a ball climbing against a bright sky leaves halos.

Masters viewing tips

  • Turn off motion smoothing; slow pans across the fairway look more natural without it.
  • Major weekends use more than one channel across the day; check which has the early and late windows.
  • Ball flight against a bright sky is hard on compression, so a stable HD feed beats a stuttering 4K one.
  • Coverage runs for hours; catch-up lets you join in time for the final groups.

When the picture misbehaves

  • Pause other downloads and video calls in the house during the broadcast.
  • Restart the player at a break in play; it clears most freezes in under a minute.
  • Move to Ethernet or 5 GHz Wi-Fi before the next one.
