How to watch Sunday
If you’re tuning in, the final group tees at 2:30 p.m. ET and Sky Sports scheduled build‑up starting at 4:30 p.m. with full coverage from 5 p.m., so expect long‑form broadcast into the evening. (golf.com) (skysports.com). McIlroy’s hot end to Round 2 — he birdied the final four holes to open his big cushion — is the context broadcasters keep returning to. (espn.com)
Sunday’s Masters coverage runs deep into the afternoon and evening, with the last pairing going off at Augusta National at 2:30 p.m. Eastern and television windows stretching across the day. (golf.com) In the United States, Golf.com’s viewing guide says CBS carries the final round on Sunday, April 12, with streaming options on Masters.com, the Masters app, Paramount+, DirecTV, Amazon Prime Video and the ESPN app. (golf.com) In Britain and Ireland, Sky Sports listed Sunday build-up from 4:30 p.m. British Summer Time on Sky Sports Golf, with full live coverage from 5 p.m. as the leaders reach the back half of the course. (skysports.com) The final group changed after Saturday. Sky Sports reported early Sunday that Rory McIlroy no longer held a solo lead and would start the last round tied with Cameron Young after a third-round 73 for McIlroy and a 65 for Young. (skysports.com) That shift reshaped the watch window: Sky Sports said McIlroy and Young are the last pairing out, while Shane Lowry begins the day two shots back and eight players start within four shots of the lead. (skysports.com) Broadcasters also keep returning to Friday, when McIlroy surged late and turned the tournament into a rout for a night. ESPN reported that he birdied the final four holes in the second round to open a six-shot lead, the largest 36-hole advantage at the Masters since at least 2005. (espn.com 1) (espn.com 2) Golf.com’s Sunday pairings page says viewers who want the leaders should plan around that 2:30 p.m. Eastern start, because the final-round tee sheet is staggered in twosomes from earlier afternoon times into the last pairing. (golf.com) The practical takeaway is simple: if you tune in late, you will still catch the leaders, but the decisive stretch should land during the long network and Sky Sports windows built around the final groups.
