For European fans, the pairings of Justin Rose and Henrik Stenson, and Jon Rahm and Alex Noren, make for must-see viewing, while playing partners Tiger Woods and Justin Thomas, and Rickie Fowler and Dustin Johnson, promise some real fireworks too.
Two of the brightest stars in the game, Patrick Cantlay and Xander Schauffele, will be heading out together, while Masters champions Patrick Reed and Bubba Watson will no doubt be swapping Augusta stories out on course.
The final pairing of Jason Day and Bryson DeChambeau boast no less than six victories between them in 2018, so don’t be surprised if Sunday’s winner emerges from it.
