The Masters 2026 tournament kicks off this week with top golfers vying for victory at Augusta National in Georgia. Notable players like Rory McIlroy and Scottie Scheffler are expected to contend, alongside English golfers Tommy Fleetwood and Justin Rose, who faced a close defeat in a playoff against McIlroy last year.
McIlroy, the defending champion, is aiming to secure back-to-back titles after his historic win in the previous year. He will face stiff competition from Scheffler, the current world number one, who is determined to claim his third Green Jacket in five years.
The tournament action begins with the opening tee shots at The Masters 2026, offering fans three days of pre-event coverage starting from April 6, including practice days and the Masters Par-3 contest. The first round officially starts on Thursday at 2pm BST, with coverage continuing for the final rounds on Saturday and Sunday at 4.30pm.
