The 2025 Masters gets underway today with most of the biggest names in golf teeing up at Augusta National. World No.1 Scottie Scheffler enters the tournament as the defending champion, but he won't be without stiff competition. Scheffler ended the 2024 edition with an impressive 11-under-par, a clear four shots ahead of his competitors. This marked his second victory at Augusta, with the American golfer securing his first career major when he emerged victorious in 2022.

Rory McIlroy was hot on his heels during the 2022 edition. The Northern Irishman is eagerly awaiting a Masters win to complete a career Grand Slam, and recently bagged the 28th PGA title of his career after winning a play-off against JJ Spaun at the Players Championship in March.

American duo Davis Riley and Patton Kizzire will be the first to tee off on day one today (Thursday), at 12.40pm BST or 7.40am local time. The first Brit to step up to the tee will be Danny Willett, who clinched the Masters back in 2016. Tommy Fleetwood will also be one to watch. The 34 year old tied for third place last year, and is in the penultimate group of the day - alongside 2023 champion John Rahm and Wyndham Clark of the United States - at 6.34pm UK time.

The tee times for the first round are as follows (* denotes an amateur). All times are in British Summer Time, with the opening pair teeing off at 7.40am local time.
