The Masters 2024 LIVE: Leaderboard and latest updates with Scottie Scheffler in the lead ahead of Sunday's final round
Rory McIlroy laments slow play on 'tough day' at Masters

Scottie Scheffler has a one-point lead going into Sunday at The Masters, with Collin Morikawa, Max Homme and Ludwig Aberg all eager to chase the green jacket at Augusta National.

It's shaping up to be a great final day of action, with the likes of Bryson DeChambeau and Xander Schauffele not completely out of the running either, despite needing a strong performance with no room for mistakes. Aberg in particular hopes to advance his case to be the first ever Masters winner, following his exploits in the Ryder Cup.

However, it is Scheffler, after a third-round 71 that put him seven under par, who leads the way and who will be the man to follow as he seeks his second Masters title. Rory McIlroy was unable to regain his place among the contenders on Saturday, while Tiger Woods made a record 24th consecutive cut in the tournament, but then endured a hot day yesterday, recording a 10th round.

Why does TV coverage of The Masters start so late?

Golf fans hoping to tune in to The Masters will once again have to wait for full television coverage to begin with organizers sticking to their traditional broadcast model.

The first men's major championship of the year was established in Augusta, Georgia in 1934, where some 90 of the world's best golfers compete to wear the famous green jacket.

Sky Sports continues to be the exclusive live broadcast partner for the event in the UK, but while the top golfers will tee off at around 1pm GMT in the second round, viewers won't be able to watch each group live until 7.30pm. . This situation is exacerbated by the need for many big names to finish their first rounds on Friday morning after a weather delay on Thursday but fans will not be able to watch.

This is because The Masters' organizers limit the amount of live coverage broadcasters are allowed to show.

Scottie Scheffler leads by one shot in the final round of the Masters

Trying to win his second Masters title in three years, Schaeffler carded a third round of 71 to finish seven under par, a shot behind fellow American Collin Morikawa, whose 69 was one of only two under 70 scores on Saturday.

Max Homa is two shots behind the lead after a 73 that included 17 balls and one bogey, with Sweden's Ludwig Aberg another shot behind, the 24-year-old having only turned professional 10 months ago.

Both Aberg and Ryder Cup teammate Nicolai Hojgaard have a chance to become the first player since Fuzzy Zoeller in 1979 to win in their Masters debut, with Hojgaard briefly holding the lead after a hat-trick of birdies from the eighth.

But Hojgaard then bogeyed the next five holes and would start the final round five shots off the pace.
