Spring is here. Kind of. In my mind, spring doesn't officially start until Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer and Gary Player hit the ceremonial first tee shot at the Masters. Unfortunately, Palmer will be unable to participate this year, so Player and Nicklaus will usher in this season on their own. Then it's four days and 72 holes worth of pure golf bliss.

Here's a look at when the 2016 Masters will be played and how you can watch on TV.

Wednesday, April 6: Par 3 Contest (3-5 p.m. on ESPN)

Saturday, April 9: Round 3 (3-7 p.m. on CBS)

There are dozens of great storylines heading into this year's tournament. The foremost is probably whether Tiger Woods will play. Every indication points to him sitting this one out with a balky back. Woods hasn't played since last August.
