The 2015 Masters Tournament is already underway, but the PGA Tour’s superstars won’t take on Augusta National’s course until later this morning. The pairings and tee times, announced Tuesday, feature several former champions early in the morning.

Defending champion Bubba Watson, seeking his third green jacket in four years, starts his defense paired with Britain’s Justin Rose and South Korea’s Gunn Yang at 9:24 a.m. EDT. Right behind that group, 2013 champ Adam Scott is paired with Dustin Johnson and Antonio Murdaca at 9:35 a.m.

Three-time Masters winner and American Phil Mickelson, who last won in 2010, enters the tournament beside 2014 PGA Player of the Year Rory McIlroy and Ryan Moore at 10:41 a.m. McIlroy won two majors last year but finished tied for eighth at Augusta, while Moore has never won a major but finished tied for 13th at the Masters in 2015.

South Africa’s last two winners, Charl Schwartzel and Trevor Immelman, are scheduled to tee off at 44 minutes apart. Schwartzel, who shot 14-under for the title in 2011, is paired with Joost Luiten and Sangmoon Bae and starts at 10:30 a.m. Immelman, 2008’s winner, begins his round at 11:14 a.m. with Kevin Stadler and Scott Harvey.
