What time does The Masters start today?

The Masters begins on Thursday as the first major of the year gets under way at Augusta National.

Tiger Woods has made an astonishing return from a serious car accident to play in the tournament and the five-time Masters champion will be aiming to top his incredible feat when he won the 2019 tournament by adding a sixth Green Jacket to his wardrobe.

Hideki Matsuyama returns as the defending champion, but he is not the favourite among bookmakers with Jon Rahm leading the betting as he bids to win his second major title and become only the fourth Spaniard to win the Masters.

Other serious contenders include the new world No 1 Scottie Scheffler who has three wins in his last five Tour starts, the 2017 PGA champion Justin Thomas, and the recent Players champion Cameron Smith.

Here is everything you need to know.
