AUGUSTA - Due to early morning thunderstorms today, the patron gate opening times are delayed by 30 minutes. Ticketing gates open at 7:30am (ET) and Honorary Starters will take place at 8:15am, followed by the first tee time at 8:30am (ET).

Scheduled for 10:34am (ET) today, now 11:04am (ET), Tiger Woods will tee-it-up alongside playing partners Louis Oosthuizen and Joaquin Niemann. If all goes well, the trio will do it again on Friday at1:41pm (ET) and the 2022 Masters Tournament will march on.

That trio, “Group 14” is likely to finish-up before ESPN begins its broadcast so to see Tiger play, the easiest is to crank up ESPN+ or Masters.com and the Masters app and its 12 hours of live coverage. On either platform, you can watch featured groups, featured holes, and Amen Corner.

World No. 2 Jon Rahm has four consecutive Top-10s at the Masters Tournament, the longest active streak. Rahm, who won the 2021 U.S. Open, also has the longest active streak of Top-10s in major championships with five.

Two-time FedEx Cup Champion Rory McIlroy can become the sixth player to complete the career Grand Slam with a win this week, joining Tiger Woods, Jack Nicklaus, Gary Player, Ben Hogan and Gene Sarazen.

The Masters Tournament is the first major championship of the season and second of five events offering 600 FedEx Cup points to the winner. Cameron Smith won The PLAYERS Championship in March, (aka the Fifth Major) and earned his fifth PGA Tour title and his second of the season. He comes in to Augusta National quite “hot.”
