Woods with Cabrera and Appleby in Masters opening rounds

09/04/2008

Tiger Woods has been drawn alongside Angel Cabrera and Stuart Appleby to tee-off for the Masters at Augusta this week.

The world number one, who has targeted wins in all four of the major tournaments this year, will be up against the man who pipped him to the US Open last year in Cabrera.

Woods has won the Masters on four separate occasions in his career so far, most notably in 2001 to complete his 'Tiger Slam' - holding all four major tournaments at one time.

His trio will tee off at 10:45 local time (15:45 BST), while defending Masters champion Zach Johnson will tee off shortly before Woods at 10:23 local time (15:23 BST) alongside England's Luke Donald and 2006 US Open champion Geoff Ogilvy.

Open champion Padraig Harrington is in the group sandwiched between Woods and Johnson, alongside Mike Weir and Jeev Singh.

Lee Westwood is in the final group of three, teeing off at 14:03 local time (19:03 BST) with Aaron Baddeley and Camilo Villegas.

Several other big names will be in the final couple of groups to tee off, including 2004 and 2006 winner Phil Mickelson, who is alongside Andreas Romero and KJ Choi; Ernie Els, who is with Jim Furyk and Shingo Katayama; and Vijay Singh, who partners Steve Stricker and Stewart Cink.
