2026 Masters Tee Times Thursday for Round 1 at Augusta National

The 90th Masters Tournament kicks off Thursday morning with Round 1, and here are the tee times released earlier in the week by Augusta National Golf Club for first-round groupings.

Former Masters winners Gary Player, Jack Nicklaus and Tom Watson will be the honorary starters at 7:25 a.m. ET, followed by John Keefer and Haotong Li teeing off at 7:40 a.m.

The field will go off in sets of three (with two pairs of two) on the first two days of the tournament. Each group will play a morning round on one day and an afternoon round on the other. Players are in the same group on the first two days.

Traditionally, the defending Masters champion plays with the reigning U.S. Amateur champion, and that will be the case again in 2026 for Rory McIlroy and Mason Howell.

Here’s a look at the full list of tee times, as well as some high-powered groupings patrons and fans online will be watching. All groups go off the No. 1 tee.

As the tournament begins Thursday, you can keep up with live updates and scoring all day here.
