The 2026 Masters is off to a thrilling start at Augusta National, with Rory McIlroy and Sam Burns setting a blistering pace. McIlroy, the defending champion, fired a superb opening 67, finding his rhythm with five birdies over his final 11 holes to share the lead at five-under. He's immediately re-established himself as the man to beat.

Burns, an American Ryder Cup star, matched McIlroy shot-for-shot to post his best-ever Masters round, putting him in prime position. The chase pack is loaded with major talent, however. World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler and last year's runner-up, Justin Rose, lurk just three shots back at two-under, ensuring the pressure at the top will be immense as players battle to make the cut and earn their weekend stripes.

For fans eager to catch every moment of the action, here are the key second-round tee times (all times ET). Grab your favorite golf polo and settle in for another dramatic day at Amen Corner.
