Top-ranked defending champion Scottie Scheffler will tee off alongside England’s Justin Rose and Matt Fitzpatrick when the 108th PGA Championship begins on Thursday night (AEST) at Aronimink.
The PGA of America has announced tee times for the event, with four-time major winner Scheffler of the United States joining 2013 US Open winner Rose and 2022 US Open champion Fitzpatrick at 2:05 p.m. Thursday (4.05am Friday AEST) off the first tee.
The grouping means Fitzpatrick, a three-time PGA Tour winner this season, will not be joined by younger brother Alex, who is off to a hot PGA Tour start since sharing a pairs win with Matt in April at New Orleans.
Rory McIlroy, coming off his sixth major triumph last month at the Masters, will start at 8:40 a.m. Thursday (10.40pm AEST) off the 10th tee alongside Spain’s LIV star Jon Rahm and American Jordan Spieth over the 7,394-yard, par-70 layout.
