Tee times announced for 2023 U.S. Open, Groups for Rounds 1 & 2

Tee times have been announced for the opening two rounds of the 123rd U.S. Open, which begins Thursday at The Los Angeles Country Club (North Course).

The early supergroup looks to be the trio of Scottie Scheffler, Max Homa and Collin Morikawa, which begins the U.S. Open at 8:13 a.m. local time Thursday off No. 1 tee. The world No. 1 Scheffler joins a pair of Cal-Berkeley alums and local heroes in Morikawa, a two-time major winner, and Homa, who has ascended to world No. 7 but is still chasing his first top-10 in a major. There’d be no place like home for the LA kid to break that drought, at the site of his 2013 Pac-12 individual title – that included a 61 – no less. Scheffler has won twice on TOUR this season, including THE PLAYERS Championship, and eyes a second major to complement his Masters green jacket from 2022. Morikawa already holds a major title in California, the 2020 PGA Championship at TPC Harding Park in San Francisco, in addition to the 2021 Open Championship.

This marks the first U.S. Open to be played at LACC, an exclusive private club sitting on property with expected value “in the billions,” real estate agents told PGATOUR.COM. This marks the first U.S. Open in Los Angeles since 1948, won by Ben Hogan at Riviera, and the field can be expected to face “uneven lies, scratchy-looking bunkers and greens that feed out at the perimeter into totally unpredictable surrounds,” wrote Bradley S. Klein.

The U.S. Open is known as the most democratic of majors, with 60-plus players earning spots via 36-hole Final Qualifying on “Golf’s Longest Day,” contested across the last month. The season’s first two majors have gone to Jon Rahm (Masters) and Brooks Koepka (PGA Championship). This week, stars and Cinderellas alike will vie for the season’s third major title.

Other notable groups include …

Shane Lowry, Justin Thomas, Tommy Fleetwood (10:40 a.m., No. 1): After falling to Nick Taylor in a playoff at the RBC Canadian Open, Fleetwood meets with a pair of major champions in Thomas and Lowry. All are chasing their first U.S. Open crown.

Xander Schauffele, Viktor Hovland, Jon Rahm (11:24 a.m., No. 10): A pair of world top-six players still chasing their first major in Schauffele and Hovland, alongside world No. 2 Rahm, who won this year’s Masters along with the 2021 U.S. Open at Torrey Pines.

Cameron Smith, Sam Bennett, Matt Fitzpatrick (4:32 p.m., No. 1): The reigning Open Championship winner, Smith, meets reigning U.S. Amateur winner Bennett and defending U.S. Open winner Fitzpatrick. Bennett turned pro just two weeks ago after concluding his college career at Texas A&M; he finished T16 at this year's Masters and T20 at last week's RBC Canadian Open.

Tony Finau, Jordan Spieth, Patrick Cantlay (4:43 p.m., No. 10): Two of the highly regarded best players yet to win a major in Finau and Cantlay, playing alongside three-time major winner Spieth, whose titles include the 2015 U.S. Open at Chambers Bay.

Brooks Koepka, Hideki Matsuyama, Rory McIlroy (4:54 p.m., No. 1): The two-time U.S. Open winner Koepka, who also won last month’s PGA Championship at Oak Hill, will tango with 2021 Masters winner Matsuyama and world No. 3 McIlroy.
