We're already headfirst all the way into The Masters this year heading into Saturday's third round with a ton of drama set to unfold. Not only is Augusta National Golf Club always difficult but typically made even tougher for Saturday's action, but we have nothing but heavy hitters at the top of the board with Justin Rose continuing to set the pace through 36 holes but with Bryson DeChambeau, Rory McIlroy and even Masters veteran Corey Conners hot on his heels.
Rose was the first-round leader with DeChambeau lurking behind him then and both maintained that form to stay atop the leaderboard. McIlroy, however, bounced back beautifully with the round of the day on Friday, a 6-under 66, to storm back into contention after a disastrous pair of double bogeys to finish even-par after the first round.
It's not just those three, however. Lurking in the shadows behind them trying to take over this year's Masters Tournament is the likes of Viktor Hovland, Tyrrell Hatton, Collin Morikawa, Patrick Reed and some guy named Scottie Scheffler with two of the last three Green Jackets in his closet.
Golf fans are in for a treat on Saturday at The Masters and any second that you're able to watch, you're going to want to. So we've got you covered to be able to watch every second of Masters coverage that's available, from live stream coverage to the TV broadcast and when they start.
But first, let's take a look at the tee times for Saturday to see when players fans want to watch will hit the course.

Tom Kim will get things started in a group by himself (he'll play with a fill-in for pace of play reasons) at 9:50 a.m. ET and then we'll be off and running throughout the day. While there is no one who made the cut who's more than 10 strokes off the lead, it does feel like the firepower near the top of the leaderboard makes that gap pretty hard to close. So while you can tune in to watch the likes of Jordan Spieth, Justin Thomas and others before or leading up to around Noon ET, there's a clear line when you can start watching players in contention.
Xander Schauffele and Tommy Fleetwod tee off at 1:10 p.m. ET and that's when things will start to get fast and furious. Those guys are considered by many fans the only ones that can catch Rose, DeChambeau and Rory at the top, so that's where the action stops and you should be locked in as a golf fan from there on out on Saturday.
When does coverage start for The Masters on Saturday?
Coverage for the third round of The Masters starts at 10 a.m. ET on Saturday with On the Range coverage and live streams before we pick up with Featured Groups coverage at 10:15 a.m. ET thereafter.
