But Rory McIlroy will enjoy an earlier start to his attempt to become the sixth player to complete the career grand slam at Augusta National this week.

Woods has been drawn in the penultimate group for the opening round alongside fellow American Jimmy Walker and Welshman Jamie Donaldson, teeing off at 1.48pm local time.

The 14-time major winner has started just two events in 2015, carding a career-worst 82 to miss the cut in the first and withdrawing through injury after 11 holes of the second, but said he was ready to “compete to win a golf tournament” after 11 holes of practice on Monday.

World No 1 McIlroy has been drawn alongside three-time Masters champion Phil Mickelson and American Ryan Moore at 10.41am, with US Open champion Martin Kaymer in the group behind with Brandt Snedeker and Houston Open winner JB Holmes.

Sheffield’s Danny Willett will begin his Masters debut in the second group at 7.56am (12.56pm BST) alongside 1987 winner Larry Mize and US amateur public links champion Byron Meth.
