Rory McIlroy, Scottie Scheffler and Jon Rahm could all contend at the 2023 PGA Championship at Oak Hill.

The New York course hosts this event for a fourth time, with a strong field set to battle across four days.

Defending champion Justin Thomas will hope to again challenge but plenty of focus will be on the leading trio in the world, with Scheffler and Rahm, winner of the Masters, in particularly excellent form in 2023.

But Oak Hill has produced a surprise major winner before, and an unexpected contender could well emerge from talented and deep list of entrants.

Here are the tee times and featured groups for the 2023 PGA Championship.

What are the featured groups in the first two rounds?

As is tradition, the last three major winners have been grouped together for the first two rounds. Jon Rahm joins Matt Fitzpatrick and Cameron Smith, now of LIV Golf, on the tenth tee - but their first hole - at 1.33pm BST on Thursday, and 6.58pm on Friday.

Scottie Scheffler, meanwhile, is paired with fellow former major champions Gary Woodland and Brooks Koepka. They begin their first round also on the tenth at 1pm BST, and start their second 18 holes at 6.25pm.

Defending champion Justin Thomas also has eye-catching company in the form of Rory McIlroy and Collin Morikawa. The group immediately follow Scheffler and co.: 1.11pm BST on Thursday and 6.36pm on Friday are their tee times.

Finally, the last featured group contains Jordan Spieth, Shane Lowry and Viktor Hovland. They’ll be off at 1.22pm BST on the tenth hole on Thursday,and 6.47pm on Friday.
