Masters Friday Tee Times Moved Earlier Due to Weather

Author Brandon Plotnick
Masters officials have moved Friday tee times 30 minutes earlier, because of impending bad weather.

With bad weather moving in to the Augusta area Friday, Masters officials have decided to start things earlier in the day, to try and avoid some of it.

“Due to potential inclement weather on Friday, all starting times will be moved up 30 minutes,” Masters officials said. “The first starting time will be at 7:30 a.m. off the No. 1 tee.  Ticket gates will open at 7 a.m., as previously scheduled.”

Weather was great on Thursday, with higher than usual temperatures being the only issue. But that’s not the case on Friday.

“While showers are possible in the morning, the best chance of showers will be in the afternoon into the early evening,” The Weather Channel said. “Furthermore, some thunderstorms are also possible. That may be enough to halt play, at least temporarily.”

Masters officials said storms and bad weather appear to be moving in earlier than expected, leading to the change.

21 of the Best Images from Day 1 of the 2023 Masters

Round 1 of the 2023 Masters is complete, and the images coming out of Augusta National are terrific.

High temperatures were the only weather issue on course Thursday, which is not going to be the case the rest of the way, as officials have already announced Friday tee times will be moved up 30 minutes to hopefully avoid worsening conditions later in the day.

Here’s a look at some of the top storylines from Day 1 at the Masters:

  • Jon Rahm, Viktor Hovland and Brooks Koepka are leading at 7-under, with rounds of 65.
  • Koepka will tee off at 8:18 a.m. tomorrow, meaning he’ll likely be in the clubhouse before weather gets bad. Rahm goes off at 1:18 p.m. and Hovland goes off at 12:54 p.m.
  • Amateur Sam Bennett had a remarkable 4-under, 68, including a record-tying front 9 for an amateur.
  • Defending-champion Scottie Scheffler is in contention, after a 4-under, 68.
  • Tiger Woods struggled to a 2-over, 74.
  • Will Zalatoris and Kevin Na withdrew from the tournament, leaving 86 golfers in play.
