The 2019 US Open at Pebble Beach Golf Links in California gets underway in a few hours, and there are some prime groups for golf fans to look out for as the world’s top players battle it out for the third major of the season.
Tiger Woods, runaway winner when the US Open was held at Pebble Beach in 2000, will be teeing it up alongside Jordan Spieth and Justin Rose, in what is undoubtedly the marquee three-ball of the opening two days. That top-tier group will tee off at 10.09pm GMT on Thursday, before going out at a more viewer-friendly 4.24pm GMT on Friday.
Other big-name groups to look out for include Jon Rahm, Marc Leishman and Rory McIlroy, who tee off at 3.51pm GMT on Thursday, while Phil Mickelson, who is bidding to complete the career grand slam of majors, is paired with Dustin Johnson and 2010 US Open champion Graeme McDowell (4.13pm GMT). Last year’s champion Brooks Koepka tees off with Francesco Molinari and US Amateur champion Viktor Holland at 9.47pm GMT.
For British fans, leading fancy Tommy Fleetwood begins his search for a first major title on the 10th hole with Sergio Garcia and Hideki Matsuyama at 4.24pm GMT, while Paul Casey, who hopes to go one better than his second-place finish at the Pebble Beach Pro-am in January is teeing off alongside last week’s PGA Tour winner Patrick Cantlay and former US Open champion Lucas Glover at 9.24pm GMT.
