Scheffler Leads Pga Championship Tee Times at Aronimink
Scottie Scheffler heads into the pga championship tee times at Aronimink Golf Club as the World No. 1 and defending champion, with the 108th PGA Championship set for Newtown Square, Pennsylvania. The opening pairings put several of golf’s biggest names in the early spotlight across the first two rounds.
Tee times for the 108th PGA Championship have been announced, as Aronimink Golf Club in Newtown Square, Pennsylvania, prepares to host the season's second major.
Scheffler and McIlroy at Aronimink
Scheffler will try to defend his title while Rory McIlroy arrives chasing his third PGA Championship and seventh major. McIlroy also enters as the second favorite behind only Scheffler, giving the first two rounds a clear top-end focus before the field settles into tournament play.
McIlroy is grouped with Jordan Spieth and Jon Rahm for the first round at 8:40 a.m. and the second round at 2:05 p.m. ET. Spieth needs the PGA Championship to complete the career Grand Slam, which puts that threesome among the most watched pairings on the board.
Featured groups at 8:18 a.m.
Ludvig Åberg, Rickie Fowler, and Bryson DeChambeau will go out in the first round at 8:18 a.m., then return for the second round at 1:43 p.m. ET. Fowler is still searching for his first major title, while Åberg has yet to make a cut in two career PGA Championship starts.
DeChambeau’s recent major form adds another layer to that group after he entered Augusta as a tournament favorite and finished outside the cutline. The tee sheet gives him another chance to reset immediately on a major stage, and Fowler’s T2 at the Truist Championship last week gives the trio a current form line that does not belong to any one player alone.
Koepka, Hovland, Fleetwood
Xander Schauffele, Brooks Koepka, and Tyrrell Hatton are scheduled for 8:29 a.m. in the first round and 1:54 p.m. ET in the second. Koepka can move back level with McIlroy in major championships if he wins his fourth PGA Championship, a chase that sits inside the same pairing as Schauffele and Hatton.
Viktor Hovland, Collin Morikawa, and Shane Lowry go off at 1:32 p.m. in round one and 8:07 a.m. in round two. Morikawa is back from a back injury sustained at THE PLAYERS Championship after finishing T62 in Miami two weeks ago and then withdrawing before the start of the Truist Championship, while Lowry is coming off a failed finish at the Cognizant Classic in The Palm Beaches.
Tommy Fleetwood, Chris Gotterup, and Robert MacIntyre complete another notable group at 1:43 p.m. and 8:18 a.m. ET. Fleetwood arrives with five top-10 finishes this year and his first TOUR title from last August at East Lake Golf Club, a résumé that now lands him in a featured spot as the field sorts itself around Scheffler and McIlroy.
