Masters 2026 1st and 2nd round tee times, how to watch: Keep up with Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy and others at Augusta National

By Ryan Youngโ€ขYahoo Sports

The 90th playing of the Masters is almost here. Rory McIlroy, after his historic and spectacular playoff win last season, will attempt to defend his green jacket this week at Augusta National. But there are plenty of others in the field more than capable of ruining his hopes of back-to-back wins at the major championship.

Scottie Scheffler, the top-ranked golfer in the field, is the betting favorite once again. Heโ€™s not played in several weeks, however, and is at the course with his newborn son, Remy, who made the trek to Augusta on Sunday just nine days after he was born. Both Bryson DeChambeau and Jon Rahm are up there, too.

Rahm won on LIV Golf earlier this season, ending a long dry spell on the Saudi Arabian-backed league, and DeChambeau was in contention for most of the week last year at Augusta. Hereโ€™s everything you need to know to keep up with the first and second round action at the Masters this week, including tee times and featured groups for Thursday and Friday.
