AUGUSTA, Ga. -- Thursday kicked off the 2013 Masters in Augusta, Georgia.

Tiger Woods is eyeing his fifth win

The Masters are the biggest weekend in the golf world.

Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy and Bubba Watson are all at this year's Masters.

They are all vying for the famous green jacket.

McIlroy spoke earlier this week about being compared to Tiger.

"When you speak of rivals, of similar success, he has 77 PGA tournaments, I got six. I mean? He's got 14, I got two. So if I sell myself as a rival to Tiger, I wouldn't be really doing him much justice," said Mcllroy.

The youngest golfer in the Masters stepped up to tee. He is just 14-years-old from China.

The previous record was held by a 16-year-old.
