Masters Leaderboard Tightens As Final Round Tee Times Announced...
The 2026 Masters Tournament enters its climactic final round today at Augusta National, with tee times announced for the top contenders. Golf fans across the U.S. are closely tracking the leaderboard after a dramatic moving day saw three players tied for the lead at 10-under par.
World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler will tee off at 2:45 PM ET alongside rising star Ludvig Ã…berg, while defending champion Jon Rahm starts at 2:33 PM with surprise contender Cameron Young. The tight leaderboard has sparked intense interest, with Google searches for "Masters leaderboard tee times" spiking 320% overnight.
Augusta National's traditional Sunday pin placements promise a challenging finish. Tournament officials moved tee times up due to forecasted afternoon thunderstorms in Augusta, Georgia. The weather uncertainty adds another layer of drama to what could be the closest Masters finish in a decade.
Viewership is expected to break records, with CBS Sports reporting its highest Saturday ratings since 2018. The tournament's outcome could significantly impact the FedEx Cup standings and Ryder Cup team selections later this year. Golf analysts are calling this the most unpredictable Masters Sunday since Tiger Woods' 2019 victory.
Fans can watch the final round coverage beginning at 10 AM ET on CBS, with featured group streaming available on Masters.com and the ESPN+ app. The winner will take home $3.6 million from the tournament's $20 million purse.
