The 2023 PGA Championship at Oak Hill Country Club kicks off Thursday with a number of star-studded groups set to take the course. While a major championship cannot be won in the first round, it can certainly be lost. Rory McIlroy may have put himself behind the eight ball the first day at the 2023 Masters, but the four-time major champion was out in front at this championship after 18 holes a season ago at Southern Hills.
The Northern Irishman will begin his quest for his fifth major championship at 8:11 a.m. ET alongside defending champion Justin Thomas and 2020 PGA Champion Collin Morikawa. Collectively, they possess eight total majors and five of the last 11 PGA Championships.
They are followed closely by world No. 1 and Masters champion Jon Rahm. Seeking to become the first man since Jordan Spieth in 2015 to win the first two major championships of the calendar year, the Spaniard begins his march towards history in a group featuring reigning U.S. Open champion Matt Fitzpatrick and the Champion Golfer of the Year Cameron Smith at 8:33 a.m.
Other notable groups Thursday morning include Scottie Scheffler, Brooks Koepka and Gary Woodland at 8 a.m. as well as Viktor Hovland, Shane Lowry and Spieth at 8:22 a.m.
