Masters 2026: Final Round Tee Times And Key Pairings
The 2026 Masters Tournament reaches its climax today at Augusta National, with the final round tee times drawing intense interest from golf fans nationwide. The leaderboard remains tightly contested, setting up a dramatic Sunday finish under Georgia's spring skies.
World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler begins his round at 2:40 PM ET alongside rising star Ludvig Ã…berg, just two strokes behind surprise leader Tom Kim. Tiger Woods, making his 30th Masters appearance, tees off at 1:15 PM ET after surviving Saturday's cut despite visible discomfort from recent injuries.
Augusta National officials moved up start times by 30 minutes due to forecasted afternoon thunderstorms. The weather uncertainty adds another layer of drama to what's already shaping up as one of the most competitive Masters in recent years.
Viewership is expected to break records, with ESPN reporting a 22% increase in Saturday's ratings over 2025. The surge follows Kim's historic third-round 63, which tied the Masters course record and electrified galleries at Amen Corner.
Key storylines include Rory McIlroy's quest for the career Grand Slam (1:55 PM ET start) and defending champion Jon Rahm's late charge (2:25 PM ET). CBS begins coverage at 2 PM ET, with featured group streaming available on Masters.com and the ESPN+ app.
Local businesses in Augusta report packed houses, with sports bars extending hours for what many are calling "the most wide-open Masters Sunday in a generation." Merchandise sales at the course have already surpassed $15 million, tournament officials confirmed early Sunday.
The winner will don the green jacket during an 8 PM ET ceremony, weather permitting. With six players within three strokes of the lead, today's final round promises edge-of-the-seat drama for the millions tuning in across America.
