THE PLAYERS Championship 2017: Round 1 & 2 tee times

THE PLAYERS Championship tee times for the first two rounds are all set. Here’s a look at the groupings for Thursday and Friday.

THE PLAYERS Championship, also referred to by many as golf’s fifth major, has finally arrived as 146 of the best players in the world, including 48 of the top 50 in the Official World Golf Ranking, are once again primed to take on the Stadium Course at TPC Sawgrass in beautiful Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida. And there’s certainly some star power in a few groups for the first two rounds on Thursday and Friday.

World No. 1 Dustin Johnson, who returned last week from the freak back injury he suffered after a fall the night before The Masters, is the favorite at THE PLAYERS and he’ll be paired with the guy right behind him in the odds…and the world rankings…as he’ll tee it up with world No. 2 Rory McIlroy on Thursday afternoon from the first tee. World No. 10 Justin Thomas rounds out the explosive trio.

Defending champion Jason Day, currently ranked third in the world, also has some firepower in his group as he’ll be joined by 2015 champion Rickie Fowler and 2009 winner Henrik Stenson.

The only major champion of the year thus far, Masters champion Sergio Garcia, who won THE PLAYERS Championship in dramatic fashion in 2008, tees off on Thursday afternoon (immediately after the DJ/McIlroy/Thomas grouping) from the first tee and will be paired with 2012 champion Matt Kuchar and 2004 winner Adam Scott in yet another great grouping.

Players will be teeing off from both the 1st and 10th tees on Thursday and Friday. Here’s the complete list of tee times for Rounds 1 and 2 of THE PLAYERS Championship. (All times Eastern.)
