Fitzpatrick’s performance has been impressive. He previously won this tournament in 2023, defeating Jordan Spieth in a playoff. Now, he’s in a strong position to add another victory to his record.

Yet, the competition is fierce. Scottie Scheffler, who shot an impressive 7-under 64 on Saturday, is just three shots back. Scheffler himself has a history with this tournament—he won it in 2024.

With top names like Justin Thomas and Jordan Spieth also in attendance, the stakes are high. Thomas, the 2025 champion, adds another layer of intrigue to the final round.

The tournament runs from April 16 to April 19, 2026, with the final round starting at 1 p.m. ET on Sunday. Golf Channel will provide coverage from 1-3 p.m., followed by CBS until 6 p.m. For those wanting to stream, PGA Tour Live on ESPN+ kicks off at 7 a.m. ET.

Details remain unconfirmed regarding any last-minute changes or surprises that could impact the leaderboard—though all eyes are certainly on Fitzpatrick.

As we approach the conclusion of this thrilling event, one thing is clear: golf fans are in for an exhilarating finish at Harbour Town Golf Links.

During the contest, Thomas not only showcased his skills but also made a financial impact, winning $2,000 from Homa and Jordan Spieth due to a pre-arranged bet on the possibility of a hole-in-one. “I probably enjoyed that shot a lot more than Max and Jordan did. Maybe about 1,000x as much,” Thomas quipped, highlighting the competitive yet jovial spirit of the event.

Historically, the Par-3 Contest has seen 115 holes-in-one recorded before 2026, with an average of 1.75 holes-in-one per year. However, despite its celebratory nature, no winner of the Par-3 Contest has ever gone on to win The Masters in the same year, adding a layer of intrigue to the proceedings.

Last year, Rory McIlroy claimed victory at The Masters, taking home a staggering $4.2 million, a testament to the tournament’s high stakes and prestige. Players who miss the cut at The Masters still receive a consolation prize of $25,000, ensuring that even those who don’t make it through the weekend leave with something to show for their efforts.

As the tournament progresses, observers are keenly watching how Homa will perform against a field that includes not only Thomas but also other prominent players like Jordan Spieth, Wyndham Clark, and Keegan Bradley. The competitive landscape is fierce, and every stroke counts in such a prestigious event.

While Homa’s performance will be scrutinized, the excitement surrounding the Masters continues to build, with fans eagerly anticipating the next round of play. The blend of tradition, competition, and the unexpected moments that the Masters brings keeps golf enthusiasts on the edge of their seats.

Details remain unconfirmed regarding how Homa will fare in the later rounds, but the stakes are high, and the atmosphere is electric as the tournament unfolds.
