Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson may have played a practice round together on Tuesday at Augusta but, alas, the two 40-something superstars will have to wait until Saturday, if they make the cut and the golf gods are willing, to go head-to-head when it counts at this year’s edition of the Masters.

Instead, Woods will tee it up in the first two rounds with Englishman Tommy Fleetwood and Aussie Marc Leishman. The trio will tee off at 10:42 a.m. ET on Thursday, while the all-American troika of Mickelson, Rickie Fowler, and Matt Kuchar drew a 1:27 p.m. time.

Among other lit groups, defending champ Sergio Garcia, reigning PGA champion Justin Thomas, and top U.S. amateur Doc Redman, will tee off at 10:53 a.m.; two-time Masters winner Bubba Watson, Jason Day, and Henrik Stenson go off at 11;04 a.m.; Rory McIlroy will launch his latest attempt to complete the career grand slam at 1:38 p.m. with 2013 Masters winner Adam Scott, and the fiery Jon Rahm; and Jordan Spieth kicks off his effort to earn a second green jacket at 1:49 p.m. with Alex Noren and 2010 British Open winner Louis Oosthuizen.
