The Masters: Pairings and Tee Times

Likely the first thing everyone wants to know when The Masters pairings are announced is who Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson are playing with.

Tiger is paired with Paul Casey and Aaron Baddeley in a group that goes off at 1:52 p.m. (EDT) in the first round. What a fantastic group. Woods is the favorite to win, Casey is considered a strong challenger at Augusta National, and Baddeley is a great "sleeper" pick.

Phil is paired with Richie Ramsay and Adam Scott. Ramsay is the 2006 U.S. Amateur champion, who traditionally is paired with the defending Masters champ. Nobody is as strong a candidate to win as Woods, but Mickelson comes closest. And Scott, coming off a win last week in the Shell Houston Open, is another strong contender. This group tees off at 10:56 a.m. on Day 1.

The full pairings and tee times are below the fold.
