Sports on TV This Week … Braves, United, Hawks and The Masters
From Staff Reports … Scores updated 10 a.m., Sunday (4/14)
Another packed schedule of TV sports is set for this week with three Atlanta professional teams in action plus the iconic Masters golf tournament in Augusta beginning Thursday.
The Hawks wrap up their regular season this week hoping to move into the No. 9 slot for the NBA play-in tournament. United hosts the Philadelphia Union on Sunday while the Braves entertain the New York Mets beginning tonight with a four-game set at Truist Park, then travel to Miami for a three-game series.
The Masters has three days of pre-tournament action culminating with the traditional Par 3 Tournament on Wednesday. The Honorary Starters get the event going at 8:15 a.m. on Thursday. Last year, Jon Rahm won the “Green Jacket” at 12-under, four shots better than Brooks Koepka and Phil Mickelson.
Tonight, the NCAA Men’s Basketball Championship takes place with a pair of No. 1 seeds facing off – Connecticut and Purdue.
