A tradition unlike any other continues Friday with Viktor Hovland, Brooks Koepka and Jon Rahm sharing the top spot on the leaderboard entering the second round of the Masters at Augusta National Golf Club. At the moment, Koepka is carrying the flag for the Saudi-backed LIV Golf tour.

Tiger Woods, meanwhile, struggled to a 2-over 74, putting him nine strokes off the pace. Woods is bidding for his sixth Masters title.

The weather could play a major factor in the tournament moving forward. According to AccuWeather, there is a 96% chance of precipitation on Friday and 98% chance on Saturday in Augusta, Georgia.

TEE TIMES: Pairings for Friday’s first round 

After briefly moving to 9-under and just three strokes off the lead, Jason Day double-bogeyed 15 and followed up with a bogey on 16 to drop all the way to 6-under for the tournament.

Meanwhile, world No. 2 Rory McIlroy sat at 5-over for the tournament through 11 holes and was very much in danger of missing the cut, which was projected to be at 1-over. 

Amateur Sam Bennett continued his incredible form with a birdie on No. 13, moving into a tie for second place and six strokes off the lead.

Tiger Woods teed off on No. 1 to kick off his second round of the Masters. The five-time winner was tied for 54th at 2-over entering the day and likely has some work to do in order to be safe from the weekend cut.

Meanwhile, defending champion Scottie Scheffler saw his frustrating Friday continue by posting a double-bogey on No. 9. He was 2-under through 11 holes.

Amateur Sam Bennett birdied No. 9 to move to 6-under for the tournament, just six strokes off leader Brooks Koepka, who shot a 5-under 67 Friday. No amateur has ever won the Masters.

Defending Masters champion Scottie Scheffler made a birdie on the par-5 eighth hole  after showing visible signs of frustration throughout the front nine.

Scheffler bogeyed No. 1 and settled for par on holes 2-7. The 26-year-old missed multiple mid-range birdie putts along the way and now sits at 4-under for the tournament and even for the day.

Brooks Koepka continued his second-round charge and leads the Masters at 12-under through 15 holes. Jason Day was making a charge Friday and sits second at 8-under through 10.

While Brooks Koepka maintains a four-shot lead after a birdie on No. 13, others are trying to make a push to join him at the top. 

Collin Morikawa and Jordan Spieth are each two-under for the day, for a score of 5-under while Rory McIlroy is two-over after back-to-back bogeys and is 12 back of the leader. Jason Day completed his front nine and is four off the pace at 7-under.

The projected cut line is at 2-over. 

After making par on the first hole, Day has surged into a tie for second with two straight birdies on No. 2 and 3. Viktor Hovland and Jon Rahm are also at 7-under but will take the course Friday afternoon when it is expected that the weather will start to take a turn for the worst. Justin Rose and Zach Johnson are among 12 players that have played under par in the early portion of the second round. 

Koepka has had his way with Par 5’s in the second round, making an eagle on the Par 5 No. 10 and now is three shots clear of the second-place place golfers. 

Brooks Koepka is trying to make sure he is among the leaders before the expected weather hits, which is sure to make things difficult for players who are teeing off later. Koepka saved par on three of the first four holes and took advantage of the par-5 second hole by making birdie to take the outright lead. 

Others who have teed off in the second round include Phil Mickelson, Gary Woodland and Jason Day.

Tiger Woods tees off his second round at 12:54 p.m. ET alongside two players at the top of the leaderboard after Thursday’s first round.

Co-leader Viktor Hovland was tied with Jon Rahm and Brooks Koepka at 7-under par to start the day.  Xander Schauffele is tied for sixth at 4-under par. 

Woods, meanwhile, was tied for 54th at 2-over-par entering the day.

Koepka had the lead at 7-under with two others, one of 14 rounds of a major he has led since 2017.  He had eight birdies, nine par, and one bogey during his first round. He started his second round with one of the earlier tee times and settled for par on the first hole to remain at 7-under.

The weather is not expected to be pleasant Friday afternoon, so officials have bumped tee times up 30 minutes. Jose María Olazabal and Cameron Champ will get the second round started at 7:30 a.m. ET. 

Here’s the complete list of tee times for Friday’s second round.

There were 18 LIV golfers in the 2023 Masters field, six of whom have previously won a Green Jacket.

Here are those golfers and how they fared during the first round:

Phil Mickelson (2004, 2006, 2010 Masters champion) — 1 under, tied for 26th

Bubba Watson (2012, 2014 champ) — 5 over, tied for 78th

Dustin Johnson (2020 champ) — 1 under, tied for 26th

Patrick Reed (2018 champ) — 1 under, tied for 26th

Sergio Garcia (2017 champ) — 2 over, tied for 54th

Charl Schwartzel (2011 champ) — 2 over, tied for 54th

Brooks Koepka — 7 under, tied for lead

Bryson DeChambeau — 2 over, tied for 54th

Cameron Smith — 2 under, tied for 17th

Louis Oosthuizen — 4 over, tied for 73rd

Mito Pereira — 2 over, tied for 54th

Joaquin Niemann — 1 under, tied for 26th

Kevin Na — withdrew after nine holes due to illness

Abraham Ancer — even par, tied for 37th

Thomas Pieters — 2 over, tied for 54th

Harold Varner III — even par, tied for 37th

Jason Kokrak — 1 over, tied for 45th

Talor Gooch — even par, tied for 37th

While the PGA Tour considers the Masters an official event, the field is determined by the Augusta National Golf Club and is by invitation only. That means LIV golfers can compete in the tournament.

The Masters will pare down the field after Friday’s second round, with the low 50 players and ties qualifying for the final 36 holes.

Jack Nicklaus holds the record for most Masters cuts made with 37, followed by Fred Couples and Gary Player who each made the cut 30 times.
