Masters Sunday Leaderboard: Live Round 4 Updates

Sunday Leaderboard Status

The Masters final round (Round 4) traditionally starts at 9:00 AM ET on Sunday with grouped tee times. Leaders typically tee off in the final groups between 2:00-3:00 PM ET. The tournament concludes when the final group completes the 18th hole, usually between 6:00-7:00 PM ET.

How Masters Sunday Scoring Works

The Masters uses a cumulative stroke play format. The leaderboard shows each player's total score relative to par (72 for Augusta National). A score of -10 means the player is 10 strokes under par for all four rounds combined.

Leaderboard Column Explanations

• Pos: Current position on leaderboard (T = tied with other players at same score)
• Score: Total strokes relative to par for entire tournament (E = even par, -5 = five under par)
• Today: Current round score relative to par (updates hole-by-hole)
• Thru: Holes completed in current round (F = finished, 12 = through hole 12)
• R1-R4: Individual round scores (actual strokes, not relative to par)

Key Holes to Watch on Sunday

These holes create the biggest leaderboard movement on Masters Sunday:

Amen Corner (Holes 11-13)

The most famous three-hole stretch in golf. Hole 12 (Golden Bell par 3) is where tournaments are won and lost. Leaders routinely make double bogeys here, while chasers birdie 13 (par 5) to catch up. Watch for massive leaderboard swings between 3:00-5:00 PM ET when leaders reach Amen Corner.

Hole 15 (Firethorn Par 5)

The last realistic eagle opportunity. Players trailing by 2-3 shots often make their final charge here. According to Masters.com historical data, 67% of champions made birdie or better on hole 15 during their final round.

Hole 16 (Redbud Par 3)

The "roar hole" where patrons surround the green and erupt for hole-in-ones and near-aces. Birdie rate: 31% on Sundays. A birdie here often signals a player is finishing strong.

Masters Playoff Format

If two or more players are tied for the lead after 72 holes, a sudden-death playoff begins immediately. The playoff uses holes 18, 10, and back to 18 in rotation until a winner emerges. The first player to win a hole outright wins the Masters.

Sunday Weather Impact

Wind is the determining factor on Masters Sunday. Augusta's greens are so fast (13+ on the Stimpmeter) that even 8-10 mph wind makes approaches unpredictable. Check live conditions at Weather.com's Augusta forecast before the leaders tee off.

Historical Sunday Comebacks

The Masters has seen dramatic Sunday charges. In 2019, Tiger Woods rallied from 2 shots back to win his fifth green jacket. In 1986, Jack Nicklaus shot 65 in the final round at age 46 to win his sixth Masters. However, since 2010, the 54-hole leader has won 43% of the time—the highest hold rate of any major championship.
