How To Watch The Masters Live As Final Round Heats Up...
The 2026 Masters Tournament reaches its climax today, with millions of golf fans tuning in to watch the final round live from Augusta National. The tournament is trending as Tiger Woods makes a surprising charge, sitting just three strokes off the lead entering Sunday. Broadcast coverage begins at 10 AM ET on CBS, with streaming options available through ESPN+, Paramount+, and the Masters official app.
Augusta National's iconic azaleas are in full bloom as the world's top golfers compete for the green jacket. Scottie Scheffler holds a narrow one-shot lead over rising star Ludvig Ã…berg, setting up a dramatic finish. Woods, at age 50, has drawn massive viewership after shooting a 68 on Saturday - his best Masters round in five years.
CBS will air the traditional broadcast from 2-7 PM ET, with featured group coverage starting earlier on ESPN+. Paramount+ subscribers can stream the CBS feed, while Masters.com offers four separate live streams including Amen Corner coverage. The tournament's limited commercial breaks and exclusive access make it one of sports' most-watched events.
Viewership is expected to surpass last year's numbers, especially with Woods in contention. The five-time champion last won at Augusta in 2019, creating a potential storybook ending. Tournament officials prepared for larger crowds after Saturday's attendance topped 40,000 - the highest single-day figure since pre-pandemic years.
Weather could play a factor, with a 30% chance of afternoon thunderstorms in Augusta. The Masters has contingency plans to finish Monday if necessary, though officials hope to complete play today. Fans without cable can access coverage through FuboTV's free trial or the Masters app's free featured holes stream.
This year's purse reached $20 million, with the winner taking home $3.6 million. Beyond the prize money, the prestige of joining golf's most exclusive club has players and fans alike glued to every shot. The final pairing tees off at 2:40 PM ET, with Woods' group starting at 1:15 PM ET.
