Groups To Watch
Tiger Woods, Marc Leishman and Tommy Fleetwood: 10:42 a.m. ET
Tiger Woods is making his return to Augusta after missing the better part of the last three years due to injury.
The 42-year-old, who has won the Masters four times, has registered a second-place finish at the Valspar Championship and a fifth-place result in the Arnold Palmer Invitational in recent weeks.
Many fans will be watching every shot from the 14-time major winner this week as they follow his first Masters appearance since 2015.
Not to be ignored, Marc Leishman and Tommy Fleetwood could have big weekends.
Leishman made a serious run at the 2015 Open Championship, losing to Zach Johnson in a playoff at St. Andrews. Fleetwood, 27, is one of the game's best young golfers and took fourth at the U.S. Open last year.
Jordan Spieth, Alex Noren, Louis Oosthuizen: 1:49 p.m. ET
Jordan Spieth has dominated the Masters in his first four trips to Augusta, most notably tying the course record set by Woods with an 18-under 270 in 2015.
He has also finished second twice and took 11th last year. The 24-year-old has struggled with the putter this season, but his fantastic track record at Augusta National makes him one of the tournament's clear contenders.
Alex Noren has enjoyed a fantastic 2018 season, taking second in the Farmers Insurance Open and third in the WGC-Dell Match Play and Honda Classic. He ranks sixth in total strokes gained on tour.
Louis Oosthuizen always seems to be hanging around the leaderboard at majors, finishing second four times in the last six years and winning at the 2010 Open Championship. He could find himself in contention again.
Justin Rose, Dustin Johnson and Rafael Cabrera Bello: 2 p.m. ET
Two of the top six favorites reside in this group, as Dustin Johnson and Justin Rose were listed with 14-1 odds on Thursday to win the tournament, per OddsShark.
Johnson has finished in the top six in his past two Masters appearances, while Rose—who lost in a playoff to Sergio Garcia last year—has never missed a cut in 12 appearances.
Although he is in a group with two of the game's biggest stars, it wouldn't be a shock to see Rafael Cabrera Bello end up with the best performance out of the trio thanks to an excellent approach game.
Through results from the Houston Open, which ended last Sunday, Cabrera Bello ranked seventh in strokes gained on approach shots on the PGA Tour.
