A look at the Round 1 tee times, pairings and TV info for The Masters 2016
The Masters has arrived once again as the first Major Championship of the PGA Tour season will get underway on Thursday morning at Augusta National Golf Club and really kick the golf season off the into full swing. The year in golf hasn’t truly begun until the 2016 Masters is in the books.
Last year, Jordan Spieth established himself as the rising star of the sport as he tied Tiger Woods’ 72-hole record for The Masters on his way to an emphatic victory. While Spieth will be looking to defend his title and grab another Green Jacket, though, Woods is out of the tournament as he’s still recovering from injury and subsequently surgery.
