Who's teeing off when?

With the weather delay pushing tee times back, here's a refresher of what that means for the big names...

1.00pm ET | Jon Rahm, Matt Fitzpatrick, Nick Dunlap

1.12pm ET | Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy, Xander Schauffele

1.24pm ET | Wyndham Clark, Viktor Hovland, Cameron Smith

3.54pm ET | Tiger Woods, Jason Day, Max Homa

4.30pm ET | Dustin Johnson, Collin Morikawa, Tommy Fleetwood

CONFIRMED

The Masters has now verified Garcia's report. Great inside knowledge, Sergio.

Play is officially delayed until 10.30am ET, shoving all tee times back by two and a half hours.

The Spaniard will tee off at 11.42am just as he reported.

Pretty decent from him to be fair. It must be difficult keeping up with tee times these days after two years of shotgun starts on LIV Golf.

The show will go on

We have an update... just not from The Masters.

There's a light at the end of the storm, according to 2017 champion Sergio Garcia.

The LIV Golf rebel has insisted the show will go on as he took to X to reveal his new tee time of 11.42am ET.

That's a two-and-a-half hour delay from his original start time, meaning it's likely we won't see any play until at least 10.30am ET (3.30pm for you Brits).

The Big Cat is back!

And he's here to win.

Last year, Tiger Woods, five-time winner of The Masters, was forced to withdraw following the third round after limping around Augusta in visible agony.

12 months and another surgery later, Woods is back and eyeing a sixth win.

If everything comes together, I think I can get one more. Do I need to describe that any more than that, or are we good?
I still think that I can [win]. I haven’t got to that point where I don’t think I can’t.

Weather watch

The good news is that major championship golf is finally back after 263 days of waiting.

The bad news is that we're being made to wait just a little longer.

The weather down in Georgia has delayed the start of play with the first round not expected to begin before 9am ET - that's 2pm for those of you across the pond - per The Masters itself.

Here we go...

It's finally here. Happy Masters Thursday!

Welcome to Mail Sport's live coverage of the first round of the first major of the year as we bring you all the action from Augusta National... when it finally gets going, that is.

The good ol' Georgia weather has delayed the start of play as thunderstorms roll in over Augusta but fear not, Rory McIlroy, Scottie Scheffler, regining champion Jon Rahm and, of course, Tiger Woods will all be teeing it up on the iconic rolling fairways later today.

In the meantime, we'll be bringing you all the updates. So settle in, slip on your green jackets and get ready for the first major of the year.
