Masters leaderboard

Follow live updates and scores from the opening day of the Masters at Augusta as Tiger Woods gets underway on his sensational return to golf.

It’s great to be back here at Augusta. I feel very proud and honoured to be here as the defending champion. “I love competing and feel like if I can still compete at the highest level. Now, 23 years on from that second victory, the Spaniard rolls in a birdie putt from the fringe at the first hole. It’s going to be a major marathon.” The next group to go off the first includes 2021 Ryder Cup captain Padraig Harrington. The Irishman is playing at The Masters for the first time since 2015 and it’s been ten years since he last made the cut, finishing T8 in 2012. And The Masters is now officially underway! “I don’t have any qualms about what I can do physically from a golf standpoint. The first group have teed off as a two-ball, with two-time Masters champion Jose Maria Olazabal partnering JJ Spaun, who was the last player to qualify for the tournament after winning the Valero Open in Texas last week. He finds the middle of the fairway and then sticks his approach to just 6ft. “I’ve gotten a decent bit of advice, but I’ve also had a lot of good experience around this golf course,” Scheffler said. Hideki Matsuyama is the defending champion and Jon Rahm, Scottie Scheffler and Cameron Smith are notable contenders favoured with the bookies, while Rory McIlroy goes again on his quest to complete a career grand slam. Woods’ latest comeback has dominated the build-up to the 86th Masters, with the 46-year-old only announcing on Tuesday that he was ready to play following months of extensive rehab.

Good morning to all and welcome to Masters week. The Masters is officially underway, and all the Tiger hoopla from the beginning of the week will be channeled into the actual tournament. That means Tiger Woods is now officially playing the Masters with a tee time set for 11:04 a.m. ET. Of the 91 golfers, 20 are first-timers, including six amateurs. Only exception in that span was Tiger in 2005 (+1). April 7, 2022 He ran through the nine golfers he thinks have the most realistic shot at winning. This from Kyle Porter previewing the 2022 Masters was really, really good. -- Tiger Woods teeing it up at 11:04 a.m. The times are pushed back 30 minutes from the original schedule due to a weather delay this morning. (Woods' 2019 win was separated 22 years from his first in 1997.) As it stands, Woods is No. 2 all-time in total Masters wins and No. 2 in major championship wins -- both trailing only Nicklaus. That's one thing to keep an eye on as the tee times unfold today. CBS Sports will update this story with scores and highlights from the Masters below.

AUGUSTA, Ga. -- After a long, often chaotic first part of the week, the 86th Masters gets underway today with as much anticipation as one can remember a major championship carrying.

The spotlight is shining on Tiger Woods as this year's first major championship kicks off. Follow along for live coverage, leader board updates and analysis ...

In the wake of major blowback from fans and fellow professional players, Mickelson lost several sponsors and quickly issued a statement of regret, saying he “desperately” needed to step away from the game. He and contemporaries such as Justin Thomas, Xander Schauffele, Jon Rahm and Rory McIlroy are among the characters that rivet golf fans’ eyeballs to televisions any time they’re in contention. But tee shots that find the deep sand leave a blind approach, meaning many have decided to steer well clear of the bunkers, resulting in a more difficult second shot from the fairway. “We’re still going to continue doing it, and hopefully we’ll have something soon.” Things started off poorly for Harry Higgs in his Masters debut after a wayward approach led to a bogey at the par-4 first hole. Dahmen spurred the wanton shirtlessness the day before, saying if a tweet of his got enough retweets, Higgs would take it off at No. 16 in the final round. But his approach landed well short of the hole and trickled off the green into the fairway, and he left himself with a 10-foot uphill par putt after his chip, which he made. He got out of trouble by laying up and chipped to within about a foot for par. Woods’s par-save attempt dribbled off to the right, and his bogey-six sent him back to even par. Woods nearly scored a birdie at the difficult par-4 fifth hole, when he stuck his approach within 10 feet. After bogeying his first hole, Niemann got it back with a birdie at the par-3 fourth. Smith, a pretournament favorite to win after top 10 finishes in three of his last four Masters appearances and two PGA Tour victories this season, put his opening tee shot into a deep fairway bunker and his third shot well over the hole, ending with a 6 after his bogey putt rimmed away.

Just 13½ months after a car crash left Woods with leg injuries so severe that doctors considered amputation, he is scheduled to tee off on Thursday morning ...

Friday and Saturday will feature cooler and blustery weather with lows in the 40s and afternoon highs in the upper 60s Friday, while struggling to reach 60 degrees on Saturday. Sunny skies each morning will give way to mostly cloudy skies during the afternoon. And 50-1 shots do win: Mine That Bird in the 2009 Kentucky Derby for one. He has not played on the PGA Tour for 17 months, and 14 months ago he severely injured his right leg in a car crash. There is also a “Track” tab on the website to follow the tournament. The Masters Tournament app is free to download and available on Apple and Android. Fans can follow golfers and create their own personalized leaderboards of their favorite players. After a cold start Sunday morning with lows in the 30s, temperatures rebound into the lower 70s for the afternoon under sunny skies and lighter winds. Woods is down in about 20th place, giving him an equal chance of winning as, say, the likes of Matthew Fitzpatrick and Corey Conners. If one of them wins instead, expect smaller headlines. He is 46, and age eventually limits even the greatest athletes. It allows fans to see all the shots by their favorite players through a player’s profile or through the “My Group” function. At the same time, plenty of golfers are much, much bigger prices than 50-1. “The pain is there, but he’s dealt with that before,” Couples said. Today, he and Justin were pretty serious.

Smith had a two-shot lead on the field going up the last, only for a double-bogey on the 18th to leave him signing for a 68. Golf - The Masters - Augusta ...

Birdies at eight and nine took him to the turn in red numbers and two more in the par-5 paradise of 13 and 15 straightened out his card a treat. I was unlucky at the first with a mud ball trying to move it around the tree. One who speaks with authority on the subject of Green Jackets is Danny Willett, who also recovered from a dropped shot at the first to finish in a position of strength. The infamous boast that par for him around here was 68 was obviously taken to heart by the gods of Augusta, who have since turned the screw with malice. It triggered a run of eight birdies in 12 holes, the bad-hair specialist bringing the full range of his short game artistry to bear on Augusta National. The contrast with Bryson DeChambeau was striking, his gossamer touch utterly outscoring the heavy machinery of his playing partner, who posted a rather agricultural 76. Smith’s round of 68 for the early clubhouse lead at four under was the more remarkable for the doubles he racked up at the first and last holes.

Spieth did it 8 times from 2014-18.— Justin Ray (@JustinRayGolf) April 7, 2022 He had an ugly showing that got even worse on the second nine as he got in at 3 over down the stretch after a 1-over first nine. Morikawa, meanwhile, seemed to find his best stuff late as he finished in a flurry with a 1-under 35 on the second nine. T10. Tiger Woods and eight others (-1): There was plenty of adventure in \ Woods' 1-under 71 Round 1, but playing in a competitive environment for the first time in 509 days, he looked plenty poised, prepared and healthy enough to give a good fight for the green jacket this weekend. He seemed to get better as the day wore on, too, and after bogeying the first two holes on Amen Corner, he played the final six holes at 2 under. T7. Patrick Cantlay, Corey Conners, Jason Kokrak (-2): Coming off consecutive top-10 Masters finishes, Conners played a neat 2-under 70 round with only one bogey -- at the par-4 seventh. 2. Cameron Smith (-4): The Australian native has had a huge season and picked up where he left off Thursday with an opening-round 68. T3. Joaquin Niemann, Dustin Johnson, Scottie Scheffler, Danny Willett (-3): This group is flush with star power past and present. Round 1 at the 2022 Masters began with treacherous weather and a brief delay, but Thursday as usual still managed to deliver the goods. His round was filled with highs and lows that included five birdies, two bogeys and one eagle to carry him to No. 1 on the leaderboard. One of more than a half-dozen golfers at 1-under 71 entering Friday, Woods had an impressive showing as he scrambled his way with success all over the course and consistently made big putts to salvage a solid round. Cameron Smith is one stroke off the lead, former champions Danny Willett and Dustin Johnson are in the hunt, and Niemann joins a group including Scottie Scheffler, Jason Kokrak, Corey Conners and Patrick Cantlay that make up the remainder of the top 10.

And there are a host of big names in the field hoping to win their first major trophy who will all be in contention. Much will come down to how his body can handle walking around the difficult Augusta golf course for the entire weekend. Express Sport is on hand to provide live updates throughout the weekend.

World No 1 Scottie Scheffler and 2020 Masters champion Dustin Johnson are both poised to make a charge after rounds of 69 that left them three shots back. There ...

Woods will be among the late starters this evening but there are still plenty of players to keep an eye on during the early stages of day two. The early starters could well be in a position to take advantage of calmer conditions today. Cameron Champ is in the second group out today. Danny Willett produced a fine round of 69 yesterday to sit two shots off the lead heading into the second round. There is plenty of work for the likes of Rory McIlroy and Collin Morikawa to do, though, after the pair laboured to opening rounds of 73. He pulled his drive into the pine straw down the right and could only chip out with his second.

Augusta National Chairman Fred Ridley said Mickelson was invited but chose not to play. In other words, Friday should give us plenty to talk about as the Masters field is winnowed down to the top 50 and ties. That left one of those curious situations when a threesome becomes a twosome, and the twosome has to cope with finishing shots rapidly and standing around waiting, and in one of life’s nuances, standing around can end up more tiring than moving. “I get quite choked [up] when I get on that tee this morning,” said the eldest of the trio, Gary Player, 86, a three-time winner here. I don’t kind of belong in the same realm as these two players here.” Two strokes later he was in with a bogey, one of nine already at the first hole on Friday (compared with only one birdie). Only Woods can imagine what it might feel like after three more loops around this undulating layout, where every stance seems to demand that one hip be cocked above the other. They’ve seen the pictures, and they’ve come over the house. When Woods was asked whether there was victory merely in doing what he did Thursday — shooting a steady, 1-under par 71 on a rebuilt right leg that now houses enough hardware to fill an aisle at Home Depot — his answer was swift: “Yes.” Tiger Woods likely will never have a pain-free round for the rest of his life, thanks to the severe injuries he suffered in his February 2021 car crash. The first version Woods has played before, and at 46, he’s here for it again, with the requisite juices flowing. Day 2 of the Masters is here and Tiger Woods is within striking distance of the lead.

The first of those is Tiger Woods, who despite playing his first competitive round since his February 2021 car crash shot a 1-under 71 par on Thursday, placing him tied for 10th among the field.
