Tee Times Determined for the Prestigious 2024 Masters Tournament
The much anticipated 2024 Masters Tournament is set to commence at the iconic Augusta National Golf Club, and the tee times for the first two rounds have been officially unveiled. Defending champion Jon Rahm, five-time winner Tiger Woods, and 2022 champion Scottie Scheffler highlight the star-studded field.
Tee Time Determination
The tee times for the Masters are determined using a combination of factors, including player rankings, past performances, and ticket sales. Players ranked among the top 50 in the Official World Golf Ranking receive the earliest tee times, while those outside the top 50 are assigned later times. Players who have performed well in previous Masters tournaments are also given preference, with past champions typically teeing off in the morning hours.
