Defending PGA Champion Brooks Koepka is featured in one of the early marquee groupings Thursday at Valhalla Golf Club, joining Max Homa and Jordan Spieth going off the 10th tee at 8:37 a.m. ET. Koepka shot 66-67 on the weekend last year at Oak Hill to top Victor Hovland and Scottie Scheffler by two shots and earn his third Wanamaker Trophy and fifth career major. Koepka won his last start two weeks ago in Singapore.
The trio will tee off the first hole Friday for the second round at 2:02 p.m. ET.

Three groups earlier, going off the 10th at 8:04 a.m. ET are major champions Tiger Woods, Adam Scott and Keegan Bradley. Woods historically captured the 2000 PGA Championship at Valhalla via a three-hole aggregate playoff against Bob May.

Woods birdied the 71st and 72nd holes to get into the playoff, then dropped a long birdie putt on the first playoff hole when he famously walked quickly after the ball while pointing at it as it dropped into the cup. That victory marked his third straight major title and fifth overall at the time. He’s a four-time PGA Champion.
The grouping will start on the 10th hole at 1:18 p.m. ET on Friday for the second round.
Scheffler, the World No. 1 and reigning Masters champion, is back after a three-week hiatus and ready to compete for his third consecutive title. He is grouped with 2023 U.S. Open champion Wyndham Clark and 2023 Open Championship winner Brian Harman. They start on the first hole Thursday at 2:13 p.m. ET and on the 10th hole at 8:48 a.m. ET on Friday for Round 2.
