The World Champions Cup's final day will start earlier than expected. 

The PGA Tour Champions announced Saturday afternoon that it has changed the schedule of Sunday's final day of the Cup, held at The Concession Golf Club, to avoid inclement weather that might hit the area in the afternoon. 

The Sunday morning session of singles matches will now begin at 8 a.m. instead of 9:30 a.m. as previously scheduled. The afternoon wave will begin at 11:35 a.m. The estimated completion of play is now 3 p.m. 

Parking lots will open at 7 a.m., with shuttle services beginning at 7:15 a.m. Gates will open at 7:30 a.m. 

Broadcast coverage on ESPN+ will begin at 8 a.m. ABC will provide coverage from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m.

Team International leads the event by a half-point (111.5) after two days of competition. Team USA (111) is in second and Team Europe (101.5) is in third.
