Tee-times for the first two rounds of the 2026 Masters were released, and it doesn’t take too much scrolling to find the marquee groups that will have us on the edge of our sofas for the opening two rounds of the first Major of the year.
Defending champion and Grand Slam winner Rory McIlroy will tee it up alongside the American pair of Cameron Young and amateur Mason Howell at 3:31pm Irish time on Thursday and 6:44pm on Friday.
Fellow Northern Ireland golfer Tom McKibbin, making his Masters debut, sets off at 4:15pm on Thursday alongside American pair, Andrew Novak and Brian Campbell and 12:50pm on Friday.
Shane Lowry is in the 2:43pm group in Thursday in the company of American Dustin Johnson and Australia’s Jason Day and 5:56pm on Friday.
Howell will enjoy at least 36 holes with idol McIlroy after securing his start with his win in the US Amateur at Olympic Club in 2025.
