Masters 2026 Tee Times in AEST | Round 1 & 2 Pairings & Featured Groups

The Masters 2026 tee times are set. Augusta National hosts the year's first major from Thursday 10 April to Sunday 13 April (US dates), which means Australian fans are in for a series of late-night and early-morning sessions across the long weekend. Round 1 plays out overnight Thursday into Friday AEST, with the first groups off the tee from around 10:00pm Thursday AEST and the final groups finishing just after 4:00am Friday.

Wyndham Clark wins the 2026 US Open (Shinnecock Hills) — his second US Open title, by one from Sam Burns. Read our US Open 2026 winner’s report, and the next major is The Open at Royal Birkdale (16–19 July).

Golf Betting Markets

Golf offers some of the most diverse betting markets in sport. Key options include:

Outright Winner: Back a player to win the tournament. The most popular golf bet, with odds available from the Monday before each event.

Each-Way: Bet on a player to either win or finish in the top places (usually top 5 or 8). The each-way fraction is typically 1/4 or 1/5 of the win odds. This is the most popular bet type for golf in Australia.

Top 5 / Top 10 / Top 20: Back a player to finish within a nominated position range. Lower risk, lower odds.

First Round Leader: Predict who will lead after the opening round.

Head-to-Head Matchups: Two or three players are grouped together — bet on who finishes lowest across the tournament or a single round.

Nationality Betting: Back the best performer from a specific country (e.g. top Australian).

Make/Miss Cut: Predict whether a player will survive the halfway cut.

Golf Betting FAQs

What is each-way betting in golf?

Each-way betting is two bets in one: a win bet and a place bet. If your player wins, both pay out. If they finish in the place range (typically top 5 or 8), only the place bet pays at a fraction of the win odds (usually 1/4 or 1/5).

What are the four major golf championships?

The Masters (April), PGA Championship (May), US Open (June) and The Open Championship (July). These are the most prestigious and heavily bet tournaments in golf.
