Schauffele and Spieth tee off at 10:50 AM ET — David Lipsky
David Lipsky is the headline name in the Saturday tee-time listing, but the featured group people will circle is Xander Schauffele and Jordan Spieth at 10:50 AM ET. Their third-round pairing at the 2026 Truist Championship gives Quail Hollow one of its most recognizable weekend groups.
The round is set for Saturday, May 9, at Quail Hollow in North Carolina, with CBS and Golf Channel handling third-round television coverage. PGA Tour Live on + begins exclusive early streaming coverage at 7:30 a.m. ET, Golf Channel opens at 12 p.m. ET, and CBS coverage can be streamed on Paramount+.
Schauffele and Spieth at Quail Hollow
Schauffele and Spieth will go off at 10:50 AM ET, a slot that places them among the featured weekend pairings at Quail Hollow Club. The grouping keeps two established PGA Tour players on the same clock as the third round unfolds.
For Schauffele, the tee time comes after a Wednesday press conference in which he said, “I haven't really been in touch with the lead too much in most events.” He added, “Overall just a few things here or there that I need to do a little bit better in the matter of four days to get myself over the finish line,” before saying he is “trying to find a way to get everything to kind of click at the same time.”
Saturday coverage at Quail Hollow
Fans tracking the round have several windows to follow play. PGA Tour Live on + starts first at 7:30 a.m. ET, Golf Channel begins its Saturday coverage at 12 p.m. ET, and the third round will also air on CBS and Golf Channel.
The broadcast setup gives viewers both early streaming access and the later national television window, with the GOLF App carrying a simulcast of Golf Channel’s Saturday TV coverage. That means the day starts before the featured pair reaches the tee and continues through the main broadcast block.
Early tee times build the board
The first listed group goes at 7:45 AM with Aldrich Potgieter and Denny McCarthy, followed by Mackenzie Hughes and Hideki Matsuyama at 7:55 AM. Andrew Novak and Matt Fitzpatrick are set for 8:40 AM, while Andrew Putnam and Sahith Theegala tee off at 9:30 AM.
Farther down the sheet, Chandler Blanchet and J.T. Poston are paired for 10:15 AM, Ricky Castillo and Viktor Hovland go at 10:25 AM, and Taylor Pendrith and Matt Wallace are scheduled for 10:35 AM. Schauffele and Spieth sit just behind that run, which keeps their group inside the most watched stretch of the morning wave at Quail Hollow.
For anyone following the championship on Saturday, the practical guide is simple: tune in early on +, catch the Golf Channel window at noon ET, and watch for Schauffele and Spieth at 10:50 AM ET as the third round moves into its featured groups.
