The Masters 2026 tee times: Full R1 groupings and UK start times for first round at Augusta National

Groupings and tee times for the opening round of the 90th Masters tournament, held at Augusta National Golf Club in Augusta, Georgia.

There are 91 players in the field for the opening men's major of the year, where Rory McIlroy returns as defending champion after last year's dramatic play-off victory over Justin Rose.

McIlroy has been given an early-late draw for the first two rounds of his title defence, beginning at 10.31am local time (3.31pm UK time) alongside Cameron Young - winner of The Players last month - and US Amateur champion Mason Howell.

Two-time Masters champion Scottie Scheffler is on the opposite side of the draw alongside former US Open champion Gary Woodland and Scotland's Robert MacIntyre, while Rose is also a late starter with fellow former world No 1s Jordan Spieth and Brooks Koepka.

Jack Nicklaus, Gary Player and Tom Watson will return for the Honorary Starters ceremony on Thursday morning at 7.25am (12.25pm BST), ahead of the tournament getting under way 15 minutes later.
