The 2025 Masters gets underway Thursday morning with the first round at Augusta National. Here’s everything you need to know to watch the tournament on Thursday, including full Masters TV coverage, streaming info and Round 1 tee times.
Early on in Masters week, one question was talked about more than any other: can Rory McIlroy finally win his first Masters title?
We will get our first answers to that question in Thursday’s opening round as the 2025 Masters finally begins.
All signs so far are good. McIlroy is on a tear this season, capturing big wins at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am and Players Championship. Now he’ll try to triumph at the only major championship he hasn’t won.
