The Masters 2026: Thursday, April 9 to Sunday, April 12 – 9am ET / 6am PT / 2pm BST / 11pm AEDT

The Masters 2026 live streams will feature golf's first major of the season from the pristine green of Augusta National, azaleas in bloom and and in Amen Corner, the biggest challenge in the game. Rory Mc Ilroy is back to defend his title, with Scottie Scheffler also likely to contest for the famous Green Jacket in the 91-strong field.

After completing the major set last year, Mc Ilroy has arrived down Magnolia Lane with the serenity of a champion. The 36-year-old claims to be as motivated as ever to continue his haul of major honors and will go out with Cameron Young, who won the recent Players Championship, for the first two rounds.

Two-time champion Scheffler, the world number one, will likely start as favorite, despite a slow start to the 2026 season, and he goes out with Robert Mac Intyre. Scheffler's big-hitting fellow American Bryson De Chambeau will also be expected to go well and it will be interesting to see how he fares after starting to manufacture his own clubs.

European Ryder Cup teammates Jon Rahm, the 2023 winner, and Ludvig Aberg will be in the same group, and among the expected winners. And can Justin Rose, after play-off heartbreak last year against Mc Ilroy, finally win the Green Jacket his play around Augusta so richly deserves?
