Masters TV Schedule Draws Attention As Final Round Nears...

The 2026 Masters Tournament enters its final round today, driving intense interest in TV coverage details. Golf fans across the U.S. are searching for broadcast times as the leaderboard tightens and top contenders vie for the green jacket.

ESPN and CBS will share coverage, with ESPN airing early rounds and CBS taking over for Sunday's climax. Today's final round begins at 2:00 PM ET on CBS, following featured group coverage starting at 10:15 AM ET on ESPN+. Streaming options include Masters.com and the CBS Sports app.

The schedule surge follows a dramatic third round where defending champion Scottie Scheffler fell three strokes behind surprise leader Tom Kim. Tiger Woods, making his 30th Masters appearance, sits just outside the top 10 after Saturday's play.

Augusta National's traditional Sunday pin placements are expected to challenge players, with Amen Corner (holes 11-13) likely deciding the tournament. Weather forecasts predict ideal conditions—sunny skies and light winds—for the championship conclusion.

Viewership records could fall given the tight competition and Woods' continued presence. Last year's final round averaged 12.1 million viewers, the most since 2018. Tournament officials confirm no changes to the broadcast schedule despite earlier weather concerns.

Fans without cable can access coverage through Paramount+ (CBS) or ESPN+ subscriptions. International viewers can stream via Masters.com in most territories. The champion will receive the green jacket during the 6:30 PM ET ceremony, broadcast live on CBS.
