The 2025 edition of The Masters is upon us, and the opening round at Augusta National features a plethora of star-studded threesomes, the first of which features honorary starters Jack Nicklaus, Gary Player, and Tom Watson, who will get the ball rolling with their ceremonial tee shots at 7:25 a.m. Eastern.
As for those actually competing in this 89th Masters, defending champion Scottie Scheffler, who's looking to become just the fourth back-to-back winner in tournament history and only the second to win three jackets in four years, will tee off in the morning wave at 10:15 a.m. Eastern alongside Justin Thomas and reigning U.S. Amateur champion José Luis Ballester.
The two groups ahead of Scheffler & Co. pack plenty of star power as well, with Collin Morikawa, Joaquín Niemann, and Min Woo Lee going off at 9:47, followed by Phil Mickelson, Jason Day, and Keegan Bradley at 9:58.
And just after the Scheffler trio is Jordan Spieth, Tom Kim, and Tyrrell Hatton at 10:26. So, even just those four groups is enough to hold one's attention for a while.
The afternoon wave is highlighted by Rory McIlroy, who will begin his 11th attempt at the career Grand Slam at 1:12 p.m. alongside Ludvig Åberg and Akshay Bhatia.
Once again, the two groups in front are stacked as well, with Brooks Koepka, Russell Henley, and Sungjae Im teeing off at 12:50, followed by Adam Scott, Xander Schauffele, and Viktor Hovland at 1:01.
The two groups following McIlroy's also feature some high-profile players, with Hideki Matsuyama, Bryson DeChambeau, and Shane Lowry at 1:23 and Jon Rahm, Wyndham Clark, and Tommy Fleetwood at 1:34.
We'll get to each and every tee time in just a moment, but let's first check out when and where you can check out all the action from Thursday's opening round.
