Saturday will bring another star-studded Featured Group – Tony Finau, Brooks Koepka and Justin Rose – and the opportunity for fans to pick the other threesome they’d like to watch. Voting will take place on the PGA TOUR’s Twitter account. PGA TOUR LIVE will broadcast from 8:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. on Friday and Saturday. The coverage also will be available on Twitter for approximately the first hour of the broadcast. Here’s a look at this week’s Featured Groups (Note: FedExCup rankings in parentheses; all times Eastern): FRIDAY Marc Leishman (24), Tiger Woods (25), Chez Reavie (26): Woods won here in 2006, the year before the FedExCup Playoffs began. Leishman and Reavie both contended at TPC Boston en route to their best FedExCup finishes. In five starts at TPC Boston since the start of the FedExCup, Woods has finished in the top 11 four times. Leishman finished third at TPC Boston last year, then won the BMW Championship and finished sixth in the final FedExCup standings. Reavie was the runner-up here seven years ago to earn his lone TOUR Championship berth. Tee times: 8:51 a.m. off No. 10 on Friday; 1:16 p.m. off No. 1 on Saturday. Bryson DeChambeau (1), Dustin Johnson (2), Justin Thomas (3): Take me to your leaders. These are the top three players in the FedExCup. Johnson and Thomas also played in this group last week, while DeChambeau moved into this elite company with his win at THE NORTHERN TRUST. DeChambeau is the youngest player to lead the FedExCup standings after the first event of the postseason. Thomas is the defending champion at TPC Boston after last year’s three-shot win.
