Woods paired with Cabrera and Appleby at Masters

---

Augusta, GA (Sports Network) - Tiger Woods will begin his quest for the single-season Grand Slam at 10:45 a.m. (et) Thursday morning during the first round of the Masters.

Woods will play with reigning U.S. Open champion Angel Cabrera and Stuart Appleby, who Woods played with in the final round last year. The trio will be out at 1:52 p.m. in Friday's second round.

Woods owns four green jackets and captured the last major championship, the 2007 PGA Championship at Southern Hills.

Defending Masters champion Zach Johnson does not have the reigning U.S. Amateur to play alongside. Customarily the defending champion plays with U.S. Amateur champion as long as he stays as an amateur, but Colt Knost turned professional.

Johnson will be out with Luke Donald and former U.S. Open winner Geoff Ogilvy. They tee off at 10:23 a.m. Thursday, then 1:30 p.m. on Friday.

Phil Mickelson, who has won two of the last four Masters titles, is partnered with Andres Romero, who won in New Orleans two weeks ago, and K.J. Choi. The group is out at 1:41 p.m. in round one and 10:34 in the second round.

Last year's British Open champion, Padraig Harrington, will join former Masters winner Mike Weir and Jeev Milkha Singh at 10:34 on Thursday, then at 1:41 on Friday.
