Masters Tournament Final Round Airs Live On CBS Today
The 2026 Masters Tournament reaches its thrilling conclusion today, with CBS broadcasting the final round live from Augusta National Golf Club. Golf fans across the U.S. are tuning in as the sport's biggest stars compete for the iconic green jacket. The tournament is trending as Americans gather to watch Sunday's dramatic finish.
Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy, and defending champion Scottie Scheffler are among the leaders entering the final round. Woods, 50, is attempting to become the oldest Masters winner in history. McIlroy seeks his first Masters victory to complete the career Grand Slam.
Augusta National's famed Amen Corner (holes 11-13) could decide the tournament as players navigate its treacherous challenges. Recent rain softened the course, potentially leading to lower scores and more aggressive play. CBS's coverage began at 2 p.m. ET with featured group streaming available earlier.
The Masters always draws massive U.S. viewership as one of sports' most prestigious events. This year's interest spiked after Saturday's moving day saw several dramatic lead changes. Social media is buzzing with reactions to key shots and the tight leaderboard.
Viewers can watch on CBS or stream via Paramount+, the Masters app, and ESPN+. The tournament concludes with the traditional Butler Cabin green jacket ceremony around 7 p.m. ET. Merchandise sales at Augusta National are expected to surpass $75 million this week.
Golf's first major of 2026 comes during a resurgence in the sport's popularity. The PGA Tour's recent partnership with LIV Golf has brought new attention to professional golf. Today's final round could set viewership records if the close competition continues.
Augusta National's limited commercial breaks and iconic scenery make the Masters a unique television event. Jim Nantz calls his 40th Masters for CBS alongside analyst Trevor Immelman. Their coverage includes the tournament's famous "patron" interviews and course flyovers.
Local watch parties are forming nationwide as bars and restaurants show the tournament. In golf communities from Florida to California, fans are debating whether experience or youth will prevail today. The Masters' timeless appeal continues to captivate casual and diehard fans alike.
