Final Round Masters Tee Times Set For Sunday Showdown
The 2026 Masters Tournament reaches its climax Sunday with tee times finalized for a dramatic final round at Augusta National. Golf fans across the U.S. are tracking the pairings as contenders battle for the green jacket in one of sports' most prestigious events.
Tournament leaders will tee off in the afternoon, with the final group scheduled for 2:50 PM ET. Defending champion Scottie Scheffler starts at 2:30 PM alongside rising star Ludvig Ã…berg, while crowd favorite Tiger Woods begins his round at 12:45 PM after making the cut.
This year's Masters has drawn exceptional attention due to tight leaderboard margins and unpredictable weather conditions. Saturday's third round saw multiple lead changes, setting up what analysts call "the most open Masters Sunday in years."
Augusta National officials moved up Sunday's tee times by 30 minutes due to forecasted afternoon thunderstorms. The earlier start ensures the tournament can conclude before potential weather disruptions, though players may face challenging wind conditions.
Television coverage begins at 10:00 AM ET on CBS, with streaming available via Masters.com and the ESPN+ app. Many sports bars across America are opening early to accommodate viewers, while ticket resale prices for Sunday's round have surpassed $3,000.
The tee time announcement comes as golf enjoys resurgent popularity in the U.S., fueled by young stars and the PGA Tour's recent rule changes. Sunday's final round could deliver record viewership, especially if Woods remains in contention for his sixth green jacket.
Key pairings to watch include the 1:55 PM group featuring current leader Collin Morikawa and two-time major winner Jon Rahm. Their matchup could determine whether an American claims the title for the third consecutive year or if international players stage a comeback.
Augusta National's iconic back nine has produced countless Masters moments, and Sunday's conditions may favor aggressive play. With just four strokes separating the top 12 players, the final round promises drama until the last putt drops.
