“Working alongside Amazon in this capacity is an exciting opportunity for the Masters Tournament and its fans,” Augusta and Masters Chairman Fred Ridley said.
“We are proud of our longstanding partnerships with CBS Sports and ESPN, who have set the highest standard for broadcast coverage of the Masters.
“The addition of Amazon will only further our abilities to expand and enhance how the Tournament is presented and enjoyed.”
How will the Masters coverage look next year?
The broadcast changes will not affect UK-based golf enthusiasts, with Sky Sports to remain the broadcaster.
Amazon and ESPN will share the US broadcast duties for the first and second rounds of the Masters next year.
Coverage will begin on Prime Video at 1pm ET (6pm UK time) and end at 3pm ET (8pm UK time).
The broadcast will then change over to ESPN, with their coverage commencing at 3pm ET and wrapping at 7:30pm ET (12:30am UK time).
For the third and final rounds at Augusta next year, Paramount+ will show all the happenings from 12pm ET (5pm UK time) to 2pm ET (7pm UK time).
CBS then take over from 2pm ET to 7pm ET (12am ET).
Rory McIlroy will head to Augusta next year as the defending champion having claimed his maiden Green Jacket in the most dramatic of circumstances.

It looked as if the Northern Irishman had blown his chances of finally ending his quest for the career grand slam when he blew a four-shot lead with only seven holes remaining in the final round.
McIlroy was soon taken to a sudden-death play-off against English star Justin Rose.
Despite the gargantuan pressure on his shoulders, McIlroy showed remarkable poise and composure to sink a two-foot putt for victory.
McIlroy could barely hide his relief as he slumped to his knees and became visibly emotional.
When is McIlroy next in action?
But before McIlroy can dream of defending his Green Jacket, his attention is firmly fixated on the Ryder Cup.
The Northern Irishman is part of the European contingent at Bethpage Black as they look to retain one of golf’s most prized trophies.

McIlroy and his teammates have already arrived in New York for the event, with the 36-year-old even captured practising a rather aggressive line off the tee on the first hole.
However, Europe will have their work cut out for them against the United States thanks to the recent form of world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler.
The 28-year-old heads to Bethpage Black in scintillating form having won the Procore Championship in Arizona.
His victory was his sixth on the PGA Tour this year and landed him a cool $1.08million (£795k) in his wallet.
The 2025 Ryder Cup tees off on September 26.
