McIlroy's Masters Grouping Announced, Scheffler to Play with MacIntyre

Rory McIlroy will be joined by Cameron Young and amateur Mason Howell for the first two rounds of his Masters title defense. The world number two, who completed the career Grand Slam with a dramatic playoff win at Augusta National last year, is looking to become the fourth player in history to win back-to-back Masters titles. McIlroy will tee off at 10:31 am local time on Thursday, while world number one Scottie Scheffler will be on the opposite side of the draw, playing alongside Scotland's Bob MacIntyre and former US Open champion Gary Woodland. A total of 91 players will compete in the opening major of the year, with several high-profile groupings, including Justin Rose, Jordan Spieth, and Brooks Koepka. The Masters will feature wall-to-wall coverage on Sky Sports Golf, with live coverage starting at 2 pm on Thursday.
