PGA Championship tee times, Rounds 1 & 2PGA Championship tee times, Rounds 1 & 2

The PGA Championship may have moved to a May date, but it is retaining one of its traditional pairings. Just as it did in August, the event has paired the past three major winners. That means Masters champion Tiger Woods will be play alongside defending champion Brooks Koepka and Open champion Francesco Molinari. Koepka and Molinari both finished runner-up to Woods at Augusta National in April. Here’s a look at some of the headlining pairings for the year’s second major, which will be held next week at Bethpage State Park. One spot in the field remains to be filled. The winner of this week’s AT&T Byron Nelson, if not already exempt for the PGA, will play alongside Adam Long and Craig Bowden. (Note: FedExCup ranking in parentheses) 7:40 a.m. off No. 10: Sergio Garcia (41), Justin Thomas (12), Adam Scott (38): Garcia has finished in the top 10 in three of the four PGA TOUR events at Bethpage Black (two U.S. Opens, two NORTHERN TRUSTs). This group features two of the game’s longtime headliners, who are both pushing 40, along with one of its young stars. Thomas won the 2017 PGA Championship en route to that season’s FedExCup. 7:51 off No. 10: Charley Hoffman (54), Louis Oosthuizen (51), Patrick Reed (62): Reed and Oosthuizen both finished runner-up to Thomas at the 2017 PGA Championship. Reed went on to win his first major at the 2018 Masters, while Oosthuizen won the 2010 Open Championship. Reed won the 2016 THE NORTHERN TRUST, the opening event of the FedExCup Playoffs, at Bethpage Black. 8:02 a.m. off No. 10: Rickie Fowler (6), Bubba Watson (56), Justin Rose (11): Rose, the reigning FedExCup champion, and Fowler both have victories this year. Watson is a 12-time PGA TOUR winner. 8:13 a.m. off No. 10: Xander Schauffele (2), Hideki Matsuyama (43), Alex Noren (133): Schauffele already has two wins this season, as well as a runner-up finish at the Masters. Matsuyama is seeking his first win since 2017. 8:24 a.m. off No. 10: Brooks Koepka (8), Francesco Molinari (15), Tiger Woods (17): These are the last three major champions, and all three have wins this season, as well. Koepka won THE CJ CUP @ NINE BRIDGES, while Molinari won the Arnold Palmer Invitational presented by Mastercard. Koepka is trying to become the first player since Woods to win back-to-back PGAs. Woods won the 2002 U.S. Open here after winning the Masters earlier that year. 1:16 p.m. off No. 1: Jon Rahm (7), Dustin Johnson (5), Jordan Spieth (153): Spieth is trying to complete the career Grand Slam at Bethpage Black, while Rahm is looking for his first major. Rahm recently won the Zurich Classic of New Orleans with teammate Ryan Palmer. Johnson won earlier this year at the World Golf Championships-Mexico Championship. 1:38 p.m. off No. 1: Rory McIlroy (3), Phil Mickelson (18), Jason Day (32): This group features three players who have been victorious in both THE PLAYERS and the PGA Championship. McIlroy won at TPC Sawgrass earlier this year. Mickelson was runner-up in both the U.S. Opens at Bethpage Black (2002, ’09).
