AUGUSTA, Ga. -- The first and second round tee times and groups are out for this year's Masters, and as usual, Augusta National spread the wealth around proportionately. From start to finish, there is intrigue off the first tee on the long, wonderful spring days at the first major championship of 2021.
The first big-time group that will get going is Bubba Watson, Brooks Koepka and Viktor Hovland at 10:06 a.m. Others that follow include really interesting mixing and matching of past champions, amateurs and current starts. Here are some of the ones that stand out. All times Eastern
10:18 a.m. -- Sergio Garcia, Webb Simpson, Christiaan Bezuidenhout
10:30 a.m. -- Dustin Johnson, Lee Westwood, Tyler Strafaci
10:42 a.m. -- Xander Schauffele, Jon Rahm, Rory McIlroy
1:12 p.m. -- Phil Mickelson, Tommy Fleetwood, Scottie Scheffler
1:24 p.m. -- Patrick Cantlay, Sungjae Im, Matthew Fitzpatrick
1:36 p.m. -- Adam Scott, Bryson DeChambeau, Max Homa
1:48 p.m. -- Tony Finau, Louis Oosthuizen, Justin Thomas
2 p.m. -- Jordan Spieth, Cameron Smith, Collin Morikawa
Augusta National doesn't really do the mega-groups thing for the first two days, which is nice when you want to spread your attention on the entirety of the tournament. You get a nice amalgamation of so many different types of players at different stages of their careers and a manageable number of golfers (88) instead of trying to squeeze in 156 before the sun sets.
My favorite group is probably the last one listed above. Spieth is my pick this week to win, and he and Morikawa have been the two best iron players on the planet since Feb. 1. Throw in Cameron Smith, who has finished in the top five in two of the last three Masters, and it's a really exciting trio.
Here's a look at all 30 groups that will start play on Thursday at the 85th Masters.
