Sunday marks the final round of the Masters, live from Augusta National Golf Club in Georgia. This is annually one of golf’s greatest days, and it will be again in 2017.
Masters live stream 2017: How to watch Sunday’s round online

Two European veterans, Sergio Garcia and Justin Rose, led the field after the third round at 6 strokes under par for the tournament. They are the final group to tee off on Sunday, preceded immediately by young American superstars Jordan Spieth and Rickie Fowler. It’d be hard to have two more blockbuster groups closing out the first major of the year. As it happens, they are, and we’re in for some excellent theater.
The quality of play should be terrific on Sunday. Heavy, swirling winds visited Augusta on Thursday and Friday, but the weather was gorgeous on Saturday and is expected to be good again for the final round. The field’s scoring average on Saturday was 72.5 strokes, more than two full strokes better than on either Thursday or Friday. It’s reasonable to expect the world’s best players to hunt lots of birdies on Sunday.
This leaderboard, more than most, is thick with subplots. Two of those will be particularly hot topics of conversation. The first is Garcia, who’s been an elite player on the global stage for well over a decade, who’s been so close to several major victories, and who’s never actually finished the job. The second is Spieth, the 23-year-old who’s never finished worse than second in three Masters starts but who is trying to redeem himself after an ugly back nine cost him a second green jacket last year.
CBS will broadcast the final round on television, starting at 2 p.m. ET. The TV broadcast of Masters rounds normally doesn’t start until an hour later than that, but the audience gets an extra hour of live TV on the final day of the tournament. To supplement the TV broadcast, the tournament’s organizers offer a series of live streams on their official website. That includes a series of featured groups:
10:45 a.m. ET: Adam Hadwin, Louis Oosthuizen
11:25 a.m. ET: Matthew Fitzpatrick, Emiliano Grillo
12:15 p.m. ET: Steve Stricker, Hideki Matsuyama
