Masters 2019: Sunday Tee Times, TV Schedule, Live Stream, Predictions

The traditional Sunday afternoon finish to the Masters has been wiped out by a forecast of severe weather in Augusta and tournament organizers have taken the unusual but logical step of altering tee times in an effort to get the final round in.

Late in Saturday's third round, officials announced that the final round would begin at 7:04 a.m. ET Sunday and the tournament leaders would tee off at 9:20 a.m. Additionally, competitors will play the final round in groups of three instead of the usual twosomes, and both the first and 10th tees will be used.

CBS, which normally goes to air with its Sunday broadcast at 2 p.m. ET, will televise the event from 9 a.m. The final round will also be live streamed at Masters.com.

The ability to play out the final round to a conclusion will depend on the weather and the pace of play. The forecast is for isolated thunderstorms during the noon hour, followed by scattered thunderstorms in the 1 p.m. hour and thunderstorms starting at 3 p.m., according to Weather.com.

The severity of the thunderstorms will be one area of concern for Masters officials, but the bigger issue will be lightning. Players can compete in heavy rain, but officials can't risk a lightning strike on players or fans on the grounds. Friday's second round was impacted by a short lightning delay.

While weather is a major concern, the spectacular play of leader Francesco Molinari and challengers Tiger Woods and Tony Finau were the main stories of Saturday's round.

Molinari fired a six-under 66 and he is 13 under par heading into the final round. Woods and Finau are two strokes behind on the leaderboard at 11-under. Woods had six birdies and a bogey for a 67, while Finau was one of three golfers to shoot a 64 in the third round.

Molinari has been seemingly immune to errors of the large or small variety. He has been hitting his spots and wielding a hot putter, and even though the crowd is clearly backing Tiger, Molinari's demeanor has been calm and focused. The tournament leader has not marked a bogey on his scorecard since the 11th hole of Thursday's opening round.

Woods is confident and is pointing at his positive experience in last year's British Open and PGA Championship. "It's been a while since I've been in contention here," said Woods, per Bob Harig of ESPN.com. "But then again the last two majors count for something."

Here's a look at the starting times for the threesomes that will start on the first tee, as well as a link to the starting times for the full field.
