The Masters 2026: McIlroy and Young Set to Duel in Final Group as Sunday Tee Times Confirmed

The 90th Masters reaches its climax on Sunday at Augusta National, where the final round will determine who slips into the coveted green jacket. Co-leaders Rory McIlroy and Cameron Young will head out in the final pairing at 2:25 p.m. ET, carrying all the pressure that comes with controlling a tournament at golf's most iconic venue.

Augusta National serves up a unique challenge each year, and this edition has delivered its usual blend of drama and intrigue. With 18 holes remaining, McIlroy enters the final day with a chance to claim back-to-back Masters titles. The Northern Irishman has been in stellar form, and if he can hold his nerve on Sunday, he would join a short list of golfers to successfully defend their Augusta crown.

Young, meanwhile, represents a significant threat. The American has been building toward a major breakthrough for some time and will be determined not to let this opportunity pass. The final-group pairing sets up a compelling narrative: experience against ambition, champion against challenger.

The earlier pairings offer plenty of intrigue as well. At 1:30 p.m. ET, Patrick Reed and Collin Morikawa take to the tee. Reed is a former Masters champion who thrives in the pressure environment Augusta creates, while Morikawa's composed demeanour makes him a constant threat in major championships.

Jason Day and Justin Rose go off at 2:03 p.m. ET in what promises to be a fascinating duel. Both are major champions with the game to contend on any given Sunday. Scottie Scheffler and Haotong Li follow at 1:52 p.m. ET, with Scheffler widely regarded as one of the most consistent performers in the sport.

Those wanting to follow the action can tune in via CBS from 2-7 p.m. ET, with Paramount+ and Masters.com providing early streaming coverage from noon onwards. Additional streaming is available through Masters.com, the Masters app, ESPN App, Amazon Prime Video, Paramount+, and DirecTV, offering comprehensive coverage including exclusive early action and featured group streams.

The morning wave begins at 9:06 a.m. ET with Aaron Rai and Charl Schwartzel teeing off first. Among the notable morning groupings, Brooks Koepka and Wyndham Clark go off at 12:46 p.m. ET, while Ludvig Aberg and Brian Campbell tee off at 12:24 p.m. ET in what could be a breakout round for one of golf's rising talents.

Augusta on Sunday is unlike anywhere else in golf. The pressure of the Masters leaderboard distills itself in a way that separates the great from the merely good. By evening, one man will have the green jacket draped across his shoulders and his name engraved into golfing immortality.
