When Does The Masters Tournament End Today?...
The 2026 Masters Tournament is entering its final day at Augusta National Golf Club, with millions of viewers tuning in to see who will claim the iconic green jacket. The tournament's conclusion is trending as fans eagerly anticipate the dramatic finish, expected around 7:00 PM ET today, weather permitting.
Sunday's final round began at 10:00 AM ET, with leaders teeing off in the afternoon. CBS's live broadcast started at 2:00 PM ET and will continue until the winner is crowned. Online streaming is available through Masters.com and the ESPN+ app for those unable to watch on TV.
Augusta National's strict no-cell-phone policy means many fans rely on TV schedules or online updates to follow the action. The tournament's precise end time fluctuates based on playoff possibilities, which could extend play if the top contenders are tied after 72 holes.
This year's tight leaderboard features defending champion Scottie Scheffler, rising star Ludvig Ã…berg, and veteran Tiger Woods, who made the cut despite physical challenges. The potential for a historic Woods victory or a Scheffler repeat has heightened interest in today's finale.
Golf fans are also monitoring weather reports, as afternoon thunderstorms could delay play. Tournament officials will make real-time decisions about extending into Monday if necessary, though Augusta National prefers avoiding a Monday finish whenever possible.
Local businesses in Augusta, Georgia, report increased traffic as visitors gather to watch the conclusion at bars and restaurants near the course. The Masters consistently ranks as golf's most-watched event, with last year's final round drawing 12 million viewers.
For those planning viewing parties or betting pools, sportsbooks will close wagers when the final putt drops. The champion traditionally receives the green jacket in a ceremony near the clubhouse immediately after play concludes, followed by the Butler Cabin interview broadcast live.
Tournament organizers remind fans that Masters.com provides free live streaming of featured groups and Amen Corner throughout the day. The official app also offers real-time scoring updates for those tracking specific players during the critical final holes.
