We now know exactly how long we’ll have to wait to see Tiger Woods make his much-ballyhooed return to golf: until 1:42 PM EST on Thursday afternoon in the Masters’ opening round. Woods will tee off with the second-to-last group in the late afternoon slot, along with Matt Kuchar and K.J. Choi, according to the official list released by the Masters tournament.
