The Masters has returned to its April spot on the calendar with the 85th edition of the tournament wrapping up Sunday at Augusta National. The excitement is palpable, and history is on the line with the top of the leaderboard stacked with potential first-time winners. That means the most exciting time of the year on the golf calendar is near its conclusion as the Masters will award its green jacket on Sunday night.
While attending the Masters is a dream for many, simply being able to watch golf on the grandest stage of them all is an incredible treat each year, and we here at CBSSports.com are thrilled to bring you wall-to-wall coverage of the Masters throughout this week.
CBS Sports' week-long, multi-platform coverage concludes with its traditional 18-hole broadcast during final-round action on Sunday. Jim Nantz, in his 36th consecutive year covering the Masters, serves as host for the 34th time. Three-time Masters champion Sir Nick Faldo, on the 25th anniversary of his third victory, joins Nantz in the 18th tower as the lead analyst. Nantz and Faldo are joined by CBS Sports' incredible golf team as detailed below.
Hideki Matsuyama (-11) went wild on Moving Day and now has a commanding four-stroke lead over a large group sitting at 7 under. Justin Thomas totally worked himself out of contention with a late triple bogey on Saturday, while Jordan Spieth had an up-and-down round that puts him six back of Matsuyama. He's last among Matsuyama's potential challengers, and the only way he contends is if Matsuyama falls off in a major way.
Enough talking about it. Here's how you can watch as much Masters as possible on Sunday. Be sure to stick with CBS Sports for live coverage throughout and download the CBS Sports App to watch Masters Live on your mobile device.
