The Masters is always a visual spectacle and this first-ever November Masters is no different.
The reds, yellows and oranges of the changing leaves provide an amazing background to the dominant green at Augusta National Golf Club in Augusta, Georgia.
What’s different this year is a new way to see the course from way up high, courtesy of some amazing drone aerial shots.
“Thanks to our friends at CBS Sports, we will debut a few technologies new to Augusta National, including a fly cam on the 16th hole and two drones providing sweeping aerial views never before seen during live Masters telecasts,” Augusta National Golf Club Chairman Fred T. Ridley said during his annual news conference on Wednesday.

It might be too late, but if they could add a Masters Drone channel, I might watch that all day. pic.twitter.com/JfIlpggzQv

Hard to see how the drone is not asked back for future @TheMasters. Great stuff from @GOLFonCBS @KazeAerial pic.twitter.com/J5YduljwGO

About those fly cams, here’s one on the 16th hole.
With no fans in attendance this week, the Masters plans to experiment with different camera angles.
The best one?
