They did, I think it was the 8pm hour and oddly had “Rolex Hour” in the Masters logo font. The breaks are a lot shorter than normal PGA Tour coverage to be fair.
I don’t think they ever have a DOG for the Masters, I think we discussed it on this very thread last year and couldn’t decide whether it was contractual or because the graphics used all four corners of screen real estate. It would be just the sort of thing ANGC would require though, but ISTR eir Sport did have one when they showed it.
As for Sky’s coverage, it’s fantastic as usual (poor Henni Koyack seemed to draw the short straw and left behind doing pieces to camera back in Iselworth). I do miss Jim Nantz and that wonderfully haunting “Augusta” piano theme, which we used to get on eir Sport in Ireland which (when it existed) used to broadcast the world feed (essentially the CBS coverage topped and tailed slightly differently). You’d occasionally hear it on Sky slipping through when the leaderboard appeared, but that didn’t seem to happen this year.
