The competition may be under threat after 20 tornadoes hit Georgia and forced the cancellation of the pre-tournament par 3 competition.
But if all goes to plan, the pairings and tee times of all 94 players will be announced today at 5pm.
The first two players will tee off at around 12.40pm tomorrow.

On Friday, players will play in the same pairings as Thursday – although the field is generally flipped so that those who went out early on the first day go out late on the second.
And then on Saturday, the field will be cut and new pairings announced as the tournament moves to its conclusion.
American Dustin Johnson starts as the red-hot favourite with Ladbrokes.
The world number one will tee off at Augusta as the 13/2 front runner ahead of Rory McIlroy's 8/1 and Jordan Spieth's 9/1.
Jason Day finds himself chalked up at 20/1 to get over his horror show at the tournament last year.
And sadly for Brits, back to back wins for Willett looks an unlikely 125/1.
Jessica Bridge of Ladbrokes said: "Johnson's a force to be reckoned with right now, and although favourites don't always fare particularly well when the time comes at Augusta, punters are convinced this is DJ's year."
She added: "Each-way punters fancy Fowler and Matsuyama to be up there in contention, whilst romantic golf fans are also backing perennial bridesmaids Westwood and Garcia to finally get their hands on a Major."
