The tee times and pairings for the first two rounds of the 2026 Masters have been announced ahead of Thursday’s opening round.
The tee times and pairings for the first two rounds of the 2026 Masters have been announced.
The release comes during Masters week, with the tournament set for April 9-12 at Augusta National in Georgia. First-round play begins on Thursday, with the second round following on Friday.
BBC Sport reported the tee-time announcement on Tuesday evening, confirming the opening-round schedule fans and broadcasters were waiting for. Earlier coverage had already said the tee times would be released on April 7, two days before the first round.
The Masters is one of golf’s biggest events, and the first two rounds are always closely watched because they set up the rest of the week. The full tournament schedule and broadcast plans are already in place across official Masters channels and television partners.
The official Masters site remains the authoritative source for pairings and starting times, and any late changes before Thursday’s first tee time would be published there.
