Rory McIlroy & # 39; s quest to win a first Masters title at Augusta National will be launched at 4:15 PM BST on Thursday.
The Northern Irish will play with the imagined American Rickie Fowler in a group that will follow four-time winner Tiger Woods and Jon Rahm (16:04).
World number one Justin Rose finished at 6:49 PM with triple champion Phil Mickelson and American Justin Thomas.
Paul Casey from England plays with the 2015 winner, Jordan Spieth, and US Open and PGA Championship holder Brooks Koepka.
The striking group will be the last to start on Thursday at 7:00 PM, while defending champion Patrick Reed will start his tournament at 3:31 PM.
McIlroy, 29, needs the Masters title to complete a Grand Slam or majors career and starts the event as a bookmaker's favorite.
If he wins, he will join an elite group of five players – Jack Nicklaus, Woods, Gary Player, Ben Hogan and Gene Sarazen win each of the biggest golf prizes at least once.
