What time does Rory McIlroy tee off?
Rory McIlroy will tee-off at 6.38pm Irish time alongside Adam Scott and Jon Rahm. The Holywood native is desperate to finally get a victory on the famous course, but he will face stiff competition from the likes of Jordan Spieth, Justin Thomas and Justin Rose.
McIlroy is currently third favourite behind Speith and Thomas but also of interest will be Tiger Woods, who is a ridiculously short 12-1. Woods tees off at 3.42pm Irish time, while defending champion Sergio Garcia tees off at 3.53pm Irish time.
