What are their tee times?

Round 1 and Round 2 start times will be confirmed on Wednesday April 6th.

Is there anything else to consider?

All eyes are on Tiger Woods as he ponders returning to competition as he continues to recover from his car accident.

The five-time winner is in Augusta and has been practicing on the pitch. What he has described as a “seasonal decision” about his participation will be made before Wednesday. Dermot Gilleece and Roy Curtis have written about the potential comeback for the 15-time Major winner.
