Securing a tee time at Augusta National is the dream of most every golfer around the world. For 88 fortunate folks, they’ve done just that by earning a place in the field at the 87th Masters.
Just who they’re playing with was finally revealed on Tuesday as the club released threesome groups for the first and second rounds.
The question on many minds was how would Masters officials handle the 18 LIV Golf League players who are competing this week. Would they have them spread out among the entire field or have them play together in their own groups? It turned out to be the former with all the players, including high-profile pros Brooks Koepka, Phil Mickelson, Dustin Johnson and Cameron Smith, competing in threesomes with PGA Tour or DP World Tour players.
A traditional pairing also became official with defending champion Scottie Scheffler (a Texas grad) was grouped with U.S. Amateur champion Sam Bennett (a Texas A&M senior), which should make for some interesting banter as they walk the fairways. They’ll be joined by Max Homa in Thursday’s third-to-last tee time (1:36 p.m.).
And as for five-time Masters champion Tiger Woods? He will be playing with Viktor Hovland and Xander Schauffele, going off at 10:18 a.m. on Thursday morning.
Below are all the tee times for the first two days of competition. Now, let’s all cross our fingers the rain holds off.
