🏌️♂️ Key Tee Times & Players to Watch in Round 1 and 2
One of the most exciting parts of any major golf tournament is seeing your favorite players tee off. This year’s U.S. Open is packed with top talent, and the first two rounds have some awesome groupings. Whether you're a die-hard golf fan or just tuning in for the big names, these tee times are definitely worth remembering.
Round 1 starts Thursday at 6:30 a.m. ET, and the lineup includes some heavyweight names. For example, Scottie Scheffler, Viktor Hovland, and Collin Morikawa are grouped together and will tee off at 1:25 p.m. ET. This group is stacked with power and precision, and honestly, it could produce some of the best highlights of the day.
Then there’s another fan-favorite trio — Rory McIlroy, Shane Lowry, and Justin Rose. They’re kicking off their round at 7:40 a.m. ET on Thursday. Seeing Rory so early in the day is a great way to start your morning if you're tuning in from the East Coast.
For Round 2, these same groups will play again but at opposite times. So McIlroy and his group will play in the afternoon, and Scheffler’s group will move to the morning slot. It keeps things balanced and gives fans a chance to see both groups no matter their schedule.
Want to follow even more closely? You can stream the featured group coverage on Peacock, USOpen.com, or the USGA app. Those streams usually start around 7:17 a.m. ET, so they’re pretty much made for early risers or folks catching a bit of golf before work.
So, whether you're watching on TV or streaming on your phone, make sure to mark those tee times. Big players in tight groupings often lead to drama — and maybe even a surprise leaderboard shake-up.
