  3. There are 112 invitees and a starting field of 95 players for the 2025 Masters.
  4. There are 21 first-time players, consisting of five amateurs and 16 professionals.
  5. On the first two days of play, each amateur is paired in a group with a Masters champion
  8. Six of the previous 10 winners of the Masters have been from the United States, although there is a sprinkling of European names on this list as well.
  9. Big question is whether Rory McIlroy can get himself on that roll of honour and join Gene Sarazen, Ben Hogan, Gary Player, Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods in golf’s most exclusive club, with a career Grand Slam.
  10. 2024: Scottie Scheffler (US)
  11. 2023: Jon Rahm (Spa)
  12. 2022: Scottie Scheffler (US)
  13. 2021: Hideki Matsuyama (Jpn)
  14. 2020: Dustin Johnson (US)
  15. 2019: Tiger Woods (US)
  16. 2018: Patrick Reed (US)
  17. 2017: Sergio Garcia (Spa)
  18. 2016: Danny Willett (Eng)
  19. 2015: Jordan Spieth (US)
  22. Well, to be fair, only two players have completed the first hole at Augusta National, but it is factually correct as Davis Riley made par despite finding the trees down the left off the first tee.
  23. Patton Kizzire went wide right with his opening drive and could only make bogey after being forced to just dig out a chip back onto the fairway.
  24. But the main point here is that the 2025 Masters is up and running!

  28. There are more big beasts out later on.
  29. Jon Rahm, the 2023 champion, will play with England’s Tommy Fleetwood and American Wyndham Clark from 18:34.

  39. But what’s on the menu for us?
  40. Rory McIlroy will begin his latest attempt to win the Masters at 18:12 BST on Thursday.
  41. The Northern Irishman will play the first two rounds with last year’s runner-up Ludvig Aberg and American Akshay Bhatia in one of four marquee groups.
  42. Defending champion Scottie Scheffler is out earlier in round one at 15:15 with fellow American Justin Thomas and Spanish amateur Jose Luis Ballester.
  43. Here are the early groups to watch out for:
  44. 14:47 – Collin Morikawa (US), Joaquin Niemann (Chi), Min Woo Lee (Aus)
  45. 14:58 – Phil Mickelson (US), Jason Day (Aus), Keegan Bradley (US)
  46. 15:15 – Scottie Scheffler (US), Justin Thomas (US), *Jose Luis Ballester (Spa)
  47. 15:26 – Jordan Spieth (US), Tom Kim (Kor), Tyrrell Hatton (Eng)
  50. Sadly, there is no Tiger Woods this week..
  51. The 15-time major winner was the last man to successfully defend his Masters title back in 2002, but is continuing to recover from surgery on a ruptured Achilles tear, which could well put him out of action for the rest of 2025.
  52. The 49-year-old even missed the Champions Dinner at Augusta National on Tuesday and would probably have enjoyed Scottie Scheffler‘s menu.
  53. However, the bites were a humorous nod to Scheffler’s Christmas Day injury – which caused him to miss a few events earlier this season – when he cut himself with a wine glass while attempting to make homemade ravioli.
  54. Maybe Woods might have been tempted to leave well alone.
