Rory McIlroy will begin his Masters title defense at 15:31 BST on Thursday, April 9, as Augusta National unveils its pairings for the 90th edition of golf's most prestigious major.
McIlroy, aiming to become only the fourth player to win consecutive Masters titles, will tee off alongside U.S. Amateur champion Mason Howell and recent Players Championship winner Cameron Young. The trio will follow the traditional early-late draw pattern, returning for their second round on Friday at 18:44.
World number one Scottie Scheffler, seeking a third Green Jacket after victories in 2022 and 2024, headlines the late-early side of the draw. He'll begin his campaign at 18:44 on Thursday with Scotland's Robert MacIntyre and former U.S. Open champion Gary Woodland.
Among other notable groupings:
England's Matt Fitzpatrick will join forces with American stars Bryson DeChambeau and Xander Schauffele at 15:07 in round one.
Tommy Fleetwood takes to the course at 14:55, while three-time Masters runner-up Justin Rose begins his 21st appearance alongside 2015 champion Jordan Spieth and five-time major winner Brooks Koepka at 18:20.
The tournament will open with ceremonial tee shots at 12:25 from golf legends Jack Nicklaus (86), Gary Player (90), and Tom Watson (76), who collectively boast 11 Masters victories between them.
