Tiger Woods Paired With K.J. Choi, Matt Kuchar for First Round at Masters

In what is anticipated to be slightly more exciting than his practice rounds on Monday, Tiger Woods will return to professional golf on Thursday at 1:42 p.m.

He'll be paired with K.J. Choi and Matt Kuchar, two men who will undoubtedly be seeing the largest galleries of their pro careers.

The pairings were announced on Tuesday, and Woods' group will be the second to last group of the day, with David Duval, Adam Scott and Ricky Barnes stepping onto the tee box at 1:53 p.m.

Woods, Choi and Kuchar will tee off at 10:35 a.m. on Friday morning.

Other pairings of note include Phil Mickelson, Y.E. Yang and Robert Allenby at 10:35 a.m. on Thursday; Tom Watson, Tim Clark and Steve Marino at 9:07 a.m.; Ernie Els, Anthony Kim and Ryo Ishikawa at 10:13 a.m.; and defending champion Angel Cabrera, Jim Furyk and Byeon-Hun An at 10:24 a.m.
