The tee times for the first round of the 108th US PGA Championship have been announced, with Rory McIlroy, Jon Rahm and Jordan Spieth’s three-ball match starting at 1.40pm (BST).
Such is the size of the field – 156 players – that a two-player start is used, with McIlroy’s team starting on the 10th hole at Aronimink Golf Club in Pennsylvania.
McIlroy is seeking a third PGA Championship, following victories in 2012 and 2014, and is looking to become the first player to win the Masters and PGA in the same year since Jack Nicklaus won the title in 1975.
Xander Schauffele, winner of the 2024 PGA Championship, joins three-time PGA champions Brooks Koepka and Tyrrell Hatton in the group ahead of McIlroy at 1.29pm, while world number one Scottie Scheffler begins his bid to defend the title he won last year at 7.05pm, alongside Justin Matt Fitz.
Fitzpatrick’s younger brother Alex, who earned his tour card by winning alongside his brother Matt at the Zurich Classic last month, will start the tournament at 11.45am with Americans Braden Shattuck and Ben Griffin.
Tommy Fleetwood goes out at 6.43pm along with Ryder Cup star Bob MacIntyre and American Chris Gotterup.
Two-time winner Bryson DeChambeau plays alongside Rickie Fowler and Ludwig Aberg, with the trio teeing off at 1.18pm.
