2016 Masters: TV schedule and coverage for Sunday’s round

At the end of the last seven rounds of the Masters, Jordan Spieth has held the lead all to himself. If that streak extends to eight straight rounds on Sunday, the 22-year-old Spieth will win the second green jacket of his career. Such a victory would also make some history, as no player has ever defended a wire-to-wire major championship victory with another wire-to-wire win.

If Spieth is going to be the first to do that, he will have his work cut out for him. Thanks to a stumble on the final two holes Saturday, Spieth sits at 3-under heading into Sunday, just one stroke clear of the field. There have been a few occasions where it seemed Spieth might begin to distance himself from the rest of the field. Various issues halted those charges, which is great news for viewers looking forward to an eventful final round. Spieth has battled issues off the tee and with his approach shots this week, yet he has managed to lead after every round thanks in large part to his work on the greens. Whether he can keep that up remains to be seen, and he knows he will need to make it easier on himself Sunday if he’s going to hold off the field.

“I can’t rely on the putter the way I did today,” Spieth said after the third round. “Can’t do that every single round.”

Spieth may be the main story, but he’s only part of a terrific mixed set up for Sunday. Joining Spieth in the final pairing is Smylie Kaufman. The 24-year-old is playing in his first Masters, yet he finds himself just one stroke off the lead heading into Sunday. This is only his second major championship appearance of his career and comes just a few months after he secured a PGA Tour card for the first time.

Then there is Bernhard Langer. The two-time Masters champion is in contention for a third, despite being one of the older players in the field at 58. Langer shot a 2-under 70 in the third round to move into a tie for third place. If he manages to add a third green jacket to his resume with a win on Sunday, he’d become the oldest player to win a major championship.

There is plenty of star power lurking as well. That includes No. 1 player in the world Jason Day, who opens Sunday at even par. Dustin Johnson is also even on the tournament as he once again tries to win the first major of his career.

With so many story lines, it should make for a great final round. CBS will provide the television coverage from Augusta National with the broadcast scheduled to begin at 2 p.m. ET. That means the final five groups will tee off after the broadcast begins and nearly all of the impact shots will be shown live on TV. The broadcast will run through the end of the tournament before wrapping up in Butler Cabin for the green jacket ceremony.

In addition to the coverage on CBS, Masters.com will provide a handful of online streams, including a simulcast of the TV broadcast. Here is a complete look at the final round coverage. All times Eastern.
