Augusta, April 10 -- Three players of Indian origin, all of whom have tasted success on the PGA Tour. Sahith Theegala and Akshay Bhatia have been here before, and now, Aaron Rai joins them on his debut Masters.

Theegala and Bhatia have an added tag to their name this year with an Indian sponsorship from Hero, one of the biggest Indian backers of the sport in and out of the country.

Bhatia is paired with none other than Rory McIlroy, who is seeking his maiden Masters to complete a career Grand Slam, and the rising young star Ludvig Aberg. Theegala sees himself in the group with Sepp Straka and Sam Burns, two very solid players.

Rai will tee off with 2022 Open winner Cameron Smith and American JT Poston.

Theegala and Bhatia are thrilled...
