Defending champion Rory McIlroy will be joined by Cameron Young and amateur Mason Howell for the first two rounds of The Masters. McIlroy, who completed the career Grand Slam with a dramatic playoff win at Augusta National last year, is aiming to become only the fourth player to win consecutive Masters titles. His group will tee off at 10:31am local time on Thursday, with world No 1 Scottie Scheffler paired with Bob MacIntyre and Gary Woodland on the opposite side of the draw. A total of 91 players will compete in the opening major of the year, with several high-profile groups, including Justin Rose, Jordan Spieth, and Brooks Koepka.
The Masters will be broadcast live on Sky Sports, with coverage starting at 2pm on Thursday.
