Scottie Scheffler Leads Masters As Final Round Nears
World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler holds a three-shot lead heading into Sunday's final round at the 2026 Masters Tournament. The 29-year-old Texan carded a 5-under 67 on Saturday at Augusta National, putting him at 12-under for the tournament. His closest challengers are Sweden's Ludvig Ã…berg and Americans Max Homa and Collin Morikawa.
The Masters is trending today as golf fans across the U.S. anticipate a potential second green jacket for Scheffler, who won the tournament in 2022. Sunday's final round airs live on CBS starting at 2 PM ET, with Scheffler's group teeing off at 2:45 PM.
Augusta National's challenging conditions have separated the field, with only eight players within five shots of the lead. Scheffler's steady putting and trademark ball-striking have given him an edge, though windy forecasts could shake up Sunday's leaderboard.
Tiger Woods shot a 1-over 73 on Saturday, leaving him tied for 22nd at even par. The 50-year-old golf legend drew massive galleries all week in his first Masters appearance since 2025. Defending champion Jon Rahm sits seven shots back after a third-round 70.
Sportsbooks currently list Scheffler as the -200 favorite to win. A victory would mark his third major championship and further cement his status as golf's dominant player. The final round promises drama as contenders navigate Augusta's treacherous back nine under major championship pressure.
